What is the Orion space program and what are its goals?

Answer 1

Orion is a program that aims at sending astronauts into deep space.

Orion, a "Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle" (MPCV) that can carry four people in 'low Earth orbit' (between 160 and 2000 km above the surface of the Earth), is one of NASA's spacecrafts intended to be used for transportation to and from the International Space Station (ISS) as well as for exploring nearby asteroids and Mars.

The Orion space program is a NASA-led project aimed at developing a spacecraft capable of carrying astronauts beyond low Earth orbit, including missions to the Moon, Mars, and other deep space destinations. Its primary goals include crewed exploration beyond Earth's orbit, enabling human missions to asteroids, the Moon, and Mars, as well as supporting international collaboration in space exploration efforts.
