NASA have launched their official Orion Moonship website, containing videos and 3D models of the upcoming moonship being built by Lockheed Martin. The new Orion moonship is the replacement for the Space Shuttle program and has it's first flight scheduled for 2020. A hot NASA fact from the website states that The Orion spacecraft will have more volume than the Apollo capsules, reducing development time, boosting stability, and permitting safe travel for up to six crew members.

The Orion Crew Exploration Vehicle will be capable of travelling to the International Space Station, lunar landing on the moon and could even be chosen for a trip to Mars and back again. Orion will be capable of transporting cargo and up to six crew members to and from the International Space Station, with the capacity for 4 crew members on lunar landings.
