NASA Unveils New Spaceship
NASA is setting its sights on the future of the U.S. Space Program. The agency is unveiling a new space ship, but pushing back when that ship will go into service.
The next generation of manned space vehicles used to be part of the Orion program. Now, the name has changed to MPCV and so has the date when the ships will be ready to explore beyond the International Space Station — perhaps venturing to Mars or an asteroid.
NASA’s Orion program was supposed to have taken astronauts back to the moon beginning in 2014. Now the new launch date is unknown but probably won’t be set until later this decade.
