Constellation Architecture and System Margins StrategyNASA's Constellation Program (CxP) is responsible for the definition, design, development, and operations of the flight, ground, and mission operations elements being developed by the United States for the human exploration of the Moon, Mars, and beyond. This paper provides an overview of the latest CxP technical architecture baseline, driving requirements, and reference missions for initial capability to fly to the International Space Station (ISS) and to the Moon. The results of the most recent design decisions and analyses supporting the architecture, including the Ares I, Ares V, Orion crew exploration vehicle, and the Altair lunar lander will be presented.
