Orion Project

The Orion Project is a NASA initiative aimed at developing a spacecraft capable of carrying astronauts beyond low Earth orbit, into destinations like the Moon and Mars. Designed for long-duration space missions, Orion features advanced life support systems, safety measures for deep space travel, and technology for re-entry into Earth's atmosphere. The project aims to enhance human exploration of space, build on previous successes like the Space Shuttle, and support future missions that will expand our understanding of the solar system. Orion is a key component of NASA's broader Artemis program to return humans to the Moon.
