Aug 14, 2009 · Standing tall at its fully assembled height of 327 feet, the Ares I-X is one of the largest rockets ever processed in the Vehicle Assembly Building's High Bay 3, Super Stack 5 at the Kennedy Space Center. Ares I-X rivals the height of the Apollo Program's 364-foot-tall Saturn V.

Classical control techniques were employed using innovative methods for structural mode filter design and an anti -drift feature to compensate for translational and rotational disturbances. This design was coded into a n integrated vehicle flight sim ulation and tested by …

The first flight test for NASA’s Constellation Program is called Ares I-X and it will bring the agency one step closer to its exploration goals -- to transport astronauts to the International Space Station after the space shuttle retires and explore destinations beyond low Earth orbit.

The Ares rocket family comprised two primary variants: Ares I and Ares V. Ares I featured a solid-fueled first stage derived from the Space Shuttle’s solid rocket boosters, coupled with a liquid-fueled upper stage powered by a J-2X engine.

Ares I - Crew Launch Vehicle. Ares I is an in-line, two-stage rocket topped by the orion capsule, its service module and a launch abort system. The combination of the rocket's configuration and launch abort system will improve the crew's safety.

Ares I is an in-line, two-stage rocket configuration topped by the Orion crew vehicle and its launch abort system. Ares 1 will use a 5-segment Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Booster (SRB) for its first stage, with a liquid-fuelled second stage powered by a single J2X rocket engine derived from the Saturn IB and Saturn V rockets.

American heavy-lift orbital launch vehicle. The design selected to boost America's Orion manned spacecraft into space in the 21st Century was a family of launch vehicles dubbed Ares.

Ares I is an in-line, two-stage rocket configuration topped by the Orion crew vehicle and its launch abort system.

NASA plans to use Ares I to launch Orion, the spacecraft being designed for NASA human spaceflight missions after the Space Shuttle is retired in 2010. Ares I is intended to complement the larger, unmanned Ares V, which is the cargo launch vehicle for Constellation.
