An architecture based solely on the Starship could replace the SLS and Orion programs.
Instruments during the observations will be pointed at Jupiter and the principal stars of the constellation Orion.
NanoRacks expects Orion to have a robust architecture familiar to customers and anticipates being able to offer commercially viable costs based on principles learned in low Earth orbit.
Russia’s contribution to the lunar Gateway will probably involve a transportation system, such as the crewed spacecraft Roscosmos has been developing that could provide an alternative to NASA’s Orion for crew transport to the Gateway.
William Gerstenmaier oversaw the International Space Station, commercial cargo and crew, and the Space Launch System and Orion programs until 2020-07-10.
NASA’s Office of Inspector General criticized the agency for its accounting of Orion program costs in a July 16 report.
The OIG report indicated that a complete picture of Orion’s life cycle cost is necessary for Congress and stakeholders to make strategic decisions regarding future human exploration priorities.
The STAR Center features business and digital transformation innovations to support Orion production and future space exploration.
Boeing’s CST-100 Starliner and NASA’s Orion also use large ringsail parachutes but with different configurations.
The omnibus table shows Orion funded at $1,406.7 million, unchanged from the FY22 proposal.
Orion’s NEXUS EDaaS mesh network is intended to deliver combined interoperability to the U.S. Government and its allies and to establish a foundation for on-orbit space quantum collaboration.
At Collins Aerospace, G. Allen Flynt managed a human spaceflight mission portfolio, including systems for the International Space Station, NASA's Orion spacecraft, and Boeing's Starliner spacecraft.
Chad Fish has been named president and general manager of Orion, which will operate as the fourth business sector of Arcfield.
Geoff Crowley, Ph.D., is the chief executive officer of Orion and has joined Arcfield's executive leadership team as chief scientist.
Chad Fish has been named president and general manager of Orion, which will operate as the fourth business sector of Arcfield.
The Orion team of engineers and scientists developed the RROCI satellite at Orion’s facilities in Louisville, Colorado.
The contract work will support NASA's Flight Operation Directorate, including the Orion and Space Launch System programs, the International Space Station, the Commercial Crew Program, and the Artemis campaign.
Thales Alenia Space continues to lead the future of human space exploration from Orion to the lunar Gateway.
The European Service Module-4 (ESM-4) will be assembled and tested with Orion’s Crew Module at the Kennedy Space Center.
ICPS LH2 and LOX lines are chilled and vent and relief tests are performed while Orion communications systems are activated and checked with mission control via radio frequency links.
