Illustration of a manned Crew Exploration Vehicle (CEV) still attached to its cryogenic propulsion stage with encapsulated service module panels (ESM) shed and solar panels unfolded in low earth orbit. Various CEV designs have been produced, including the Orion spacecraft for NASA's Space Launch System (SLS). They typically carry a crew of 2 to 6 astronauts.
