9 LUNAR COMPONENTS OF CONSTELLATION Earth Departure Stage Orion-Crew Exploration Vehicle Ares I Crew Launch Vehicle Ares V Heavy Launch Vehicle Altair- Lunar Lander

10 ALTAIR MISSION: AND LUNAR ARES SORTIE V CREW WITH CARGO Orion and the crew are launched on an Ares I rocket to low Earth orbit Altair and the Earth Departure Stage are deployed on an Ares V rocket to low Earth orbit The two vehicles rendezvous and dock The Earth Departure Stage will provide the trans-lunar injection burn needed to leave low Earth orbit

11 ALTAIR AND ORION: JOURNEY TO THE MOON Altair and Orion make the journey to the moon after the Earth Departure Stage is discarded

12 ALTAIR LANDS ON THE LUNAR SURFACE Once in lunar orbit, the crew transfers to Altair and performs a powered descent to the lunar surface.

13 ALTAIR: ASCENT STAGE After 7 days on the lunar surface, the crew returns to Orion in the ascent module

14 Orion returns the crew and science payload to Earth ASCENT STAGE AND ORION The ascent module docks with Orion and the crew transfers back to Orion

15 ALTAIR: RETURNING HUMANS TO THE MOON The last human walked on the lunar surface on December 14, 1972 Apollo sent two astronauts to the lunar surface for only three days. The next generation of lunar exploration missions will have larger landing party of four astronauts, who will stay for extended periods on the lunar surface. Initially, Altair will serve as the surface habitat for a new generation of space explorers who will, over time, build a lunar outpost that will allow for even longer stays. The Moon will function as a testbed to prepare humans for further exploration to include Mars.
