Description
Illustration of a manned Crew Exploration Vehicle (CEV) preparing to dock with the International Space Station (ISS). This view is from above the CEV crew capsule. Visible elements of the ISS include a pressurized mating adapter (PMA), an international docking adapter (IDA), and manned module. Various CEV designs have been produced, including the Orion spacecraft for NASA's Space Launch System (SLS). They typically carry a crew of 2 to 6 astronauts. This CEV is 10 meters long with a maximum diameter of 6 meters, while the solar voltaic panels have a maximum spread of a little over 18 meters.
