Since the Orion capsule provides only about 2.25 m 3 (79 cu ft) of living space per crew member, [136] the use of an additional Deep Space Habitat (DSH) module featuring propulsion will be needed for long-duration missions. The complete spacecraft stack is known as the Deep Space Transport. [137]
NASA had expected to use a newly built Crew Dragon capsule to launch Crew-10 as soon as February, but in December the space agency revealed that mission teams needed additional “time to complete ...
The U.S. space agency said mission management teams opted to use a previously flown SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule for its Crew-10 mission to the space station, instead of a new SpaceX capsule whose ...
NASA gave Boeing, a longtime space contractor, more than $4 billion to develop the capsule, while SpaceX got $2.6 billion. SpaceX already was in the station delivery business and merely ...
A space capsule is a spacecraft designed to transport cargo, scientific experiments, and/or astronauts to and from space. [1] Capsules are distinguished from other spacecraft by the ability to survive reentry and return a payload to the Earth's surface from orbit or sub-orbit, and are distinguished from other types of recoverable spacecraft by their blunt shape, not having wings and often ...
NASA's Orion spacecraft undergoing final tests. Orion is a class of partially reusable spacecraft to be used in the Artemis program.

NASA decided Saturday it’s too risky to bring two astronauts back to Earth in Boeing’s troubled new capsule, and they'll have to wait until next year for a ride home with SpaceX. What should ...
On the Demo-2 mission, Endeavour was in space for 63 days. The spacecraft was rated to spend 119 days in orbit, as its solar panels had less capability than a full production Crew Dragon capable of staying in space for up to 210 days. [26] During the mission, NASA gave SpaceX approval to reuse flight-proven Crew Dragon spacecraft. [27]
