NASA is developing key technologies to take humans beyond the moon. NASA’s Orion spacecraft is built to take humans farther than they’ve ever gone before. Orion will serve as the exploration vehicle that will carry the crew to space, provide emergency abort capability, sustain the crew during the space travel, and provide safe re-entry from deep space return velocities. Orion will launch from Kennedy Space Center on NASA’s new heavy-lift rocket, the Space Launch System. The Space Launch System, the largest rocket ever built, will enable the launch of habitation and propulsion modules that will be required to take humans to Mars.
SciArt Exchange is a 501c3 nonprofit, wants to change the world by bringing science and technology together with art to capture minds and hearts, engaging all of society in the future of space exploration and promoting scientific innovation and collaboration. SciArt Exchange was conceived based on the international Humans in Space Art Program which invites participants to communicate creatively about the future of space and uses their multimedia artwork in displays and performances that engage others. To date, this Program has inspired thousands of participants of all ages and hundreds of thousands of artwork viewers and listeners worldwide. Project Mars is SciArt Exchange’s newest activity.
