Talk:Ares I/Lead
Overview: 1st paragraph
[edit]- Ares I is the crew launch vehicle being developed by NASA as a component of Constellation Program.[1]
- The Ares name was chosen from the Greek deity Ares, who is identified with the Roman god Mars.[2]
- Ares I was originally known as the "Crew Launch Vehicle" or CLV.[3]
Development: 2nd paragraph
[edit]- Advanced Transportation System Studies & Exploration Systems Architecture Study
- NASA selected the Ares designs for their anticipated overall safety, reliability and cost-effectiveness.[4]
- NASA completed the Ares I system requirements review in January 2007.[5]
Notes
[edit]It's been suggested that we need to get something in about the end of the Shuttle program, as well.
Role: 3rd paragraph
[edit]- NASA plans to use Ares I to launch Orion, the spacecraft being designed for NASA human spaceflight missions after the Space Shuttle is retired in 2010.
- Ares I is intended to complement the larger, unmanned Ares V, which is the cargo launch vehicle for Constellation.
- Ares I has a payload capability in the 25-tonne (25-long-ton; 28-short-ton) class and is comparable to existing vehicles such as the Delta IV and the Atlas V.[4]
Design: 4th paragraph
[edit]- The first stage is a more powerful and reusable solid fuel rocket derived from the Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Booster (SRB).
- Although its J-2X engine is derived from the engine used on the Saturn IB and Saturn V rockets, and the whole second stage is based on the internal structure of the Shuttle's External Tank, the upper stage itself is wholly new.
- Igniter tests
- I'm thinking that this whole section, in the article itself, should probably be worked into the "upper half" section...
