NASA's new deep space exploration spacecraft called Orion takes humans farther into space than ever before including landing on an asteroid, the moons of Mars, and Mars itself.
Orion Spacecraft
NASA’s Orion spacecraft is built to take humans farther than they’ve ever gone before. Orion will serve as the exploration vehicle that will carry the crew to space, provide emergency abort capability, sustain the crew during the space travel, and provide safe re-entry from deep space return velocities. Orion will launch on NASA’s new heavy-lift rocket, the Space Launch System.
Exploration Mission-1 is the first in a series of increasingly complex missions that will enable human deep space exploration to the Moon and beyond

NASA’s Space Launch System will be the most powerful rocket we’ve ever built. When completed, SLS will enable astronauts to begin their journey to explore destinations far into the solar system.
