Determine Orion’s ability to support missions with at least 4-Crew longer than 21 days in conjunction with additional Transportation elements. Transportation Evaluate Orion’s depress/repress for EV! contingency operations. Transportation Evaluate Orion’s off-axis (tail-to-sun) performance. Transportation Evaluate EUS TLI Performance with Orion plus Co-Manifested Payload. Transportation Evaluate high-power electric propulsion systems. Transportation Evaluate high-efficiency, high-power solar arrays in deep space. Habitation Working in Space Demonstrate crew accommodations for Beyond-LEO conditions. Habitation Working in Space Evaluate the performance of electrical components in a deep-space radiation environment. Evaluate cislunar transit habitat airlock and EVA system servicing accommodation for ability to support contingency EVA Habitation Working in Space operations. Evaluate cislunar transit habitat airlock and EVA system servicing accommodation for ability to support nominal deep Habitation Working in Space space mission EVA operations. Demonstrate transition between crewed and uncrewed operations, including configuration for remote/dormant Operations Working in Space operations and reactivation for crewed support. Operations Working in Space Demonstrate human spacecraft operations in the presence of communications latency. Operations Working in Space Demonstrate independent (On-board) mission and trajectory design/planning capability. Operations Working in Space Demonstrate Earth-independent deep space navigation. Operations Working in Space Evaluate stowage strategies to handle logistics and trash within available stowage volume for deep space missions. Operations Working in Space Demonstrate side-by-side human and robotic operations. Exploration Working in Space Demonstrate collection and return of geologic asteroid samples. Demonstrate research sample acquisition, handling, analysis, and curation requiring environmentally controlled conditions Exploration Working in Space with no cross-contamination permitted. Staying Healthy Demonstrate/evaluate space radiation protection and monitoring. Staying Healthy Demonstrate/evaluate human health, performance, and environmental health in a hostile and closed environment. Staying Healthy Evaluate the effects of deep space on complex organisms, plants, food, medicines, and animal models. 6 SLS, Orion, and Ground Systems Beginning human exploration beyond LEO as soon as practicable helps secure our future in space.
