Here, supposedly, is a sneek peak at the upcoming... not yet released... report on the CEV/ Return to the Moon architecture:
http://www.orlandosentinel.com/media/graph...07/18731963.jpg Here's the full article: http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/custom...=orl-home-promo Look familiar? Basically an Apollo CSM (=CEV), a beefed up LM (4-man... but I'm sure due to budget and weight... will be cut back to 3 or 2 person). Instead of one launch on a Saturn V equivalent, there is a crew launch CEV on a single SRB "stick" configuration, and the S4B-LM piece on the shuttle-derived vertical in-line cargo launcher... Seen here, for those who haven't run across this site yet: http://www.safesimplesoon.com/media-images.htm |
