The Orion crew exploration vehicle (CEV) program will provide a state-of-the-art human space flight system capable of safely  transferring astronauts to and from the International Space Station (ISS), the moon, Mars and other destinations beyond low earth orbit (LEO).

Human exploration requires going beyond Low Earth Orbit. It requires a destination beyond our own making, such as the Moon, asteroids or Mars. Exploration is discovering the unexpected, exploring the unknown and expanding the range of human endeavors. The Orion spacecraft provides the ability to stay in space for 210 days and to re-enter at the velocities typical of lunar or asteroid missions. Orion is a highly mass efficient, safe spacecraft configured for trans-LEO missions and also capable of transporting humans to the ISS.  In addition to human exploration missions, Orion can do the LEO human missions envisioned by the commercial community and other LEO missions as well.  Learn more about Multiple Mission Capabilites.

Utilizing a safe, affordable, staged approach to accomplishing these missions, the Lockheed Martin Orion Team is focused on providing NASA the capability to return to the Moon by the middle of the next decade with a low risk, high confidence program plan.

Lockheed Martin was awarded the contract to build Orion on Aug. 31, 2006.  Lockheed Martin Orion Project partners include Aerojet, ATK, Hamilton Sundstrand, Honeywell, Orbital Sciences Corporation and United Space Alliance.

This online communications toolkit is designed to help the Orion team members easily access materials and information that will help support your public outreach activities.
