Orion Project: NASA Spacecraft That Could Provide Path to Mars Readying for Launch
NASA’s Orion project is getting closer to the testing phase, as engineers work on moving the spacecraft into the correct configuration for launch. The spacecraft is slated to launch 3,600 miles into space in December. The module will be unmanned but the four-hour flight will help engineers to ready the craft and similar models for future trips further into space, including to Mars.


Interesting use of the name Orion which is another name for Nimrod or Osiris.
