Project Orion to take the US back to the moon
July 22, 2006
Just a couple days ago (July 20) marked the 37th anniversary of the first manned mission to set foot on the surface of the moon. On Thursday, collectSpace.com learned the official name for the new CEV (Crew Exploration Vehicle) that will be taking the place of the shuttle as our primary means of human transport — it is to be called Orion. The final contractor for Orion will reportedly be chosen this September; Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman/Boeing are currently competing to build the spacecraft. Good to see real progress on the shuttle’s replacement!
