NASA Administrator Michael Griffin released the results of the agency's exploration architecture study at NASA Headquarters in Washington, DC on September 19, 2005. The study makes specific design recommendations for a vehicle to carry crews into space, a family of launch vehicles to take crews to the moon and beyond, and a "lunar mission architecture" for landing on the moon. It also recommends the technologies NASA should pursue in the near term. Photo Credit: (NASA/Bill Ingalls)
