The Orion project has been canceled by Congress and the administration.
The new spacecraft is called the Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle (MPCV). It is designed for deep space exploration and missions beyond low Earth orbit, including potential missions to the Moon and Mars. Orion is a key component of NASA’s Artemis program, aimed at returning humans to the lunar surface.
The word that means a crew member in a spacecraft is "astronaut." Astronauts are trained professionals who travel into space to conduct missions, experiments, and research. They play crucial roles in space exploration and the operation of spacecraft.
The Name of the Crew Exploration Vehicle is Orion. It will will hold four people.
NASA is working on the development of the Orion Spacecraft which will be the vehicle for the next phase in space exploration. The Orion will be able to travel to the moon and land, which is something the space shuttles were not capable of doing. Orion missions are planned for the Moon and Mars, and possibly some near Earth asteroids.NASA will also continue using standard heavy lift rockets for unmanned missions.
The number of people that can fit in a spacecraft varies depending on the spacecraft's size and design. The capacity can range from 2-3 astronauts in smaller spacecraft like the Soyuz, up to 7-8 astronauts in larger spacecraft like the SpaceX Crew Dragon or NASA's Orion.
NASA Publication 1207 provides information on the design and analysis of manned spacecraft for space exploration missions. It covers topics such as spacecraft systems, crew accommodations, and mission planning.
A crew-less spaceship is commonly referred to as an unmanned spacecraft or robotic spacecraft. These spacecraft are designed to operate without any humans on board, carrying out missions such as scientific research, exploration, or satellite deployment.
It has had various names, it was CEV (Crew Excursion Vehicle), I think the latest now is "Orion". Basically it is a redesigned Apollo command module for a crew of 7 instead of 3. No ability to carry any payload up or down, just crew. Payloads will go on older non-manrated vehicles to save cost.
The possessive form of the singular, uncountable noun spacecraft is spacecraft's.Example: The spacecraft's crew arrived safely.
The number of people that can fit in a rocket varies based on its design and purpose. For example, NASA's Crew Dragon spacecraft can carry up to seven astronauts, while the Russian Soyuz spacecraft typically accommodates three. Larger vehicles, like the Space Launch System (SLS) with the Orion spacecraft, could potentially carry more crew members in future missions. Ultimately, the capacity depends on the specific mission requirements and the rocket's configuration.
The Space Shuttle Atlantis.
The Apollo spacecraft that went to the moon carried a crew of three.
