NASA:n tuleva sukkulan korvaava Ares 1-X testirakettia ollaan parhaillaan siirtämässä Kennedyn avaruuskeskuksen kokoonpanohallista laukaisalustalle 27.10. tapahtuvaa koelentoa varten.
Ares 1 on sukkulaa huomattavasti korkeampi raketti. Ares raketteja tullaan käyttämään myös seuraavilla kuulennoilla.

Launch Vehicle: Ares I-X
Targeted Launch Date: Oct. 27
Launch Window: 8 a.m. - 12 p.m. EDT
Launch Pad: 39B
Launch Site: Kennedy Space Center, Fla.
NASA's first flight test for the agency's next-generation spacecraft and launch vehicle system, called Ares I-X, will bring NASA one step closer to its exploration goals -- to return to the moon for more ambitious exploration of the lunar surface and to travel to Mars and destinations beyond. The flight test will provide NASA with an early opportunity to test and prove flight characteristics, hardware, facilities and ground operations associated with the Ares I.

Ares on aika äreä ilotulitusraketti.
