* Paperback Version - 124 Pages - Printed in Color * Artemis: From The Moon To MarsDiscover all the details about:ORION - The Amazing, Most Advanced Space Crew Capsule ever!Orion is the vehicle that will take astronauts on Artemis missions. It’s the only spacecraft capable of human deep space flight and high-speed return to Earth from the vicinity of the Moon. More than just a crew module, Orion has a launch abort system to keep astronauts safe if an emergency happens during launch, and a European-built service module, which is the powerhouse that fuels and propels Orion and keeps astronauts alive with water, oxygen, power, and temperature control.Orion has already been launched on it's maiden test flight around the moon.Like the Apollo missions sending astronauts that first stepped on the Moon, America has entered a new era of exploration. We call it Artemis. It will lead humanity back to the Moon, this time sustainably, and prepare us for our next giant leap: exploration of Mars.Orion is versatile, with a reusable and long-duration infrastructure that will last multiple decades and support missions of increasing complexity.More than just a crew module, Orion has a launch abort system to keep astronauts safe if an emergency happens during launch, and a European-built service module, which is the powerhouse that fuels and propels Orion and keeps astronauts alive with water, oxygen, power, and temperature control.Orion is specifically designed to carry astronauts on deep space missions father than ever before. It will provide protection from solar radiation and high-speed entry into Earth’s atmosphere, as well as advanced and reliable technologies for communication and life support.Here's a short list of the many details you'll learn in this Orion Reference Guide:Orion:Launch Abort System Crew ModuleEuropean Service Module AvionicsHeat ShieldCrew SystemsEnvironmental Control and Life Support Systems Universal Waste Management SystemOrion Crew Survival System SuitsApollo to ArtemisPartner ProgramsCompleted Flight TestsUpcoming MissionsDevelopment and TestingResourcesArtemis ISecondary PayloadsSpace Biology ExperimentsMatroshka AstroRad Radiation Experiment (MARE)Commander Moonikin CamposCallisto Artemis IIArtemis IIIEnvironmental Control and Life Support SystemsOn Orion, environmental control and life support systems (ECLSS) will make the crew module a habitable, safe place for astronauts and is key to survival as they travel on deep space missions.On the International Space Station, a safe return to Earth is only hours away, but that is not the case for deep space missions.
