Originally named the "Crew Launch Vehicle" or CLV, the Ares name was chosen from the Greek deity Ares. [4] Unlike the Space Shuttle, where both crew and cargo were launched simultaneously on the same rocket, the plans for Project Constellation outlined having two separate launch vehicles, the Ares I and the Ares V, for crew and cargo, respectively.
Two minutes after launch, the Ares I-X's expended Solid Rocket Booster (SRB) first stage was detached from the unpowered Upper Stage Simulator (USS); both landed in the Atlantic Ocean at different locations, as planned. Ares I-X was the only test flight of a launch vehicle like the Ares I. The test flight objectives included: [4]

The Constellation Program was NASA's planned future human spaceflight program between 2005 and 2009, which aimed to develop a new crewed spacecraft and a pair of launchers (Ares I and Ares V) to continue servicing the International Space Station and return to the Moon.
Ares V was to be the cargo launch component of the Constellation program. Unlike the Saturn V and Space Shuttle, where the crew and cargo were launched together on the same rocket, Project Constellation planned to use two separate launch vehicles, the Ares I and the Ares V, for crew and cargo respectively. This configuration would have allowed ...
The Space Coast saw a record number of launches from the two facilities with 57 in 2022. Space Launch Delta 45 commander Maj. Gen. Stephen Purdy said in January that there could be between 86 and ...
Another SpaceX rocket launch is scheduled for liftoff. Depending on weather and visibility, the Space Coast might see a nice streak in the sky. Earlier this week, Florida achieved a space ...
The design of the launch vehicle taking Orion into orbit, the Ares I, employs many concepts from the Apollo program. The design of the J-2X engine intended for use on the Ares V booster rocket was originally to be similar to the J-2 engine of the Apollo-era Saturn V and Saturn IB rockets. In designing the J-2X, NASA engineers visited museums ...
