Artist’s rendering of the Orion CEV in lunar orbit Image credit: NASA The value of the Orion contract is greater than $700 million over the next 15 years. It will roll out over three phases: development, production, and sustaining engineering. Above, an Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU) undergoing a vibration test. first manned mission, astronauts will leave behind hardware that future missions will incorporate into the growing base. Once the Orion vehicle begins manned missions to the Moon, upon discharge of its astronauts, it will orbit empty while the astronauts are on the lunar surface. Unlike the Apollo craft, which required at least one astronaut stay behind to operate the craft, the Orion will be able to fly itself while all four astronauts descend to the Moon in a separate lander. The ARES Program – Launching the CEV to design, develop, and test the J-2X engines that will power the upper stage of the ARES I (and later on, the ARES V cargo launch vehicle). Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne is part of United Technologies Corporation (UTC), a multinational corporation which is also the parent company of Hamilton Sundstrand Corporation. Ares I-1 is planned to have its first test launch in 2009. HSSSI Introduces Flexible EMUs for Changing Needs Another important program HSSSI will be working on is the ARES I, the launch vehicle system for the CEV. The ARES I, a series of rockets which will launch the CEV into orbit, is the crew launch component of Project Constellation, NASA’s next generation of manned space exploration after the retirement of the Space Shuttle program. Several aerospace companies are part of the ARES project. ATK will build the first stage solid rocket segment. HSSSI will provide auxiliary power units to the first stage. Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne has been awarded the sole contract Another important component of manned space travel that HSSSI provides for NASA is the EMU, or the Extravehicular Mobility Unit. Otherwise known as the space suit, this iconic image is the very definition of space exploration for millions of people around the world. EMUs have been used extensively in the construction and repair of the International Space Station.The EMU is essentially a one-person spacecraft that can support a seven-hour space walk. HSSSI’s Primary Life Support System is the center piece of a unit that includes several systems including a Communications Carrier Assembly, a Display and Control Module, Liquid Cooling, continued on page 16 and special gloves.
