Orion Exploration Plan

The Orion Exploration Plan refers to NASA’s initiative to develop the Orion spacecraft, designed for deep space missions. This program aims to enable human exploration beyond low Earth orbit, including trips to the Moon and eventually Mars. Orion will carry astronauts safely, providing life support, navigation, and communication systems. The goal is to enhance our understanding of deep space while preparing for future missions, allowing humanity to venture further into the solar system. Through this endeavor, NASA hopes to foster international collaboration and inspire new generations in science and technology.
