Interactive Feature: NASA Space Exploration Plans

Officials at the American space agency have just released an interactive feature that showcases the most important plants NASA has, in terms of space exploration and manned spaceflight. You can see it here. A simpler version (in .pdf format) is available here.

Everything from the development of the Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle (MPCV) and the Space Launch System (SLS), to the role corporations such as SpaceX and OSC will play in allowing NASA to reach low-Earth orbit, and the International Space Station, are listed in the interactive features.

There are five categories listed in the application – the ISS, commercial development, current and future vehicles, human spaceflight capabilities and future destinations. The United States remains committed, at least in theory, to conducting a manned mission to Mars by 2035.
