Nasa, adding another feather to its cap has launched an exceedingly advanced spaceflight successfully so as to improve the design and safety of the next generation of American spaceflight vehicles, which could take humans beyond low earth orbit.Built on cutting-edge launch technologies, evolved powerful Apollo and space shuttle propulsion elements, and decades of NASA spaceflight experience, Ares I is the essential core of a safe, reliable, cost-effective space transportation system, one that will carry crewed missions back to the moon, on to Mars and out into the solar system.Ares I is an in-line, two-stage rocket configuration topped by the Orion crew vehicle and its launch abort system. In addition to the vehicle's primary mission, carrying crews of four to six astronauts to Earth orbit. Ares I may also use its 25-ton payload capacity to deliver resources and supplies to the International Space Station, or to "park" payloads in orbit for retrieval by other spacecraft bound for the moon or other destinations.
