    Study Notes

    Orion Ship Artemis Program

    Lunar Orbit

    • The Orion spacecraft is designed to take humans to the lunar orbit and eventually to Mars
    • The Artemis program aims to return humans to the lunar surface by 2024
    • In lunar orbit, the Orion spacecraft will serve as a base for missions to the lunar surface
    • The spacecraft will remain in lunar orbit for up to 26 days, providing life support systems for the crew

    Mars Exploration

    • The Orion spacecraft is being developed to take humans to Mars in the 2030s
    • The spacecraft will be capable of carrying crews on deep space missions lasting up to 300 days
