Summary
| Description |
English: Ares V
JSC2008e039782, 2008 --- The Ares V Cargo Launch Vehicle is also in development at Marshall and will be the primary heavy lifter for Constellation. At a height of 109.2 meters and a diameter of 8.40 meters, the Ares V will be comparable in size to the Apollo-era Saturn V. A core stage twice as large as the Shuttle External Tank and powered by five RS-68 engines (rated at 3,340 kN of thrust each) will be supplemented with two five-segment SRBs identical to those used by the Ares I rocket. The core stage will deliver 130,000 kg to Low Earth Orbit from pad LC-39A at Kennedy Space Center.
Français : L’Ares V, le lanceur de cargaison, est en développement au Marshall Spaceflight Center de la NASA à Huntsville, Alabama, USA, et sera le premier lanceur lourd pour le programme Constellation. D’une hauteur de 109.2 mètres et d’un diamètre de 8.40 mètres, l’Ares V sera comparable en taille avec la fusée Saturn V de l’ère Apollo. L’étage central de deux fois la taille du réservoir externe de la navette spatiale, propulsé par cinq moteurs RS-68 (3340 kN de poussée pour chaque), sera complété de deux SRBs à cinq segments identiques avec ceux utilisée pour la fusée Ares I. L’étage central mettra 130000 kg en orbite terrestre basse (LEO) depuis le pas de tir LC-39A du Kennedy Space Center. |
