The Orion crew capsule mockup represents NASA’s next-generation spacecraft designed to carry astronauts beyond low Earth orbit as part of the Artemis program. Built for deep-space travel, Orion is intended to support missions around the Moon and play a central role in returning humans to lunar exploration for the first time since Apollo. Its familiar conical shape reflects a proven capsule design, while its modern systems are built to meet the demands of long-duration missions and safe reentry back to Earth.
