PremiumVIVAnews -United States Space Agency (NASA) as if back to the past to develop a space capsule that can bring man into space. Space probe named MPCV (multi-purpose Crew Vehicle) will be developed by the US origin technology companies, Lockheed Martin.
"We committed about human exploration to orbit-the bottom of the Earth (the low-orbit, orbit diameter up to an altitude of 2000 kilometers) and will develop a new generation of a system that will take us there," said NASA Chief Charles Bolden, as quoted from the page of CNN.
NASA said the astronauts have yet to try the spacecraft until 2016. A number of astronauts are no longer sent to the bottom of the Earth's orbit since Apollo program, in the ' 70s.
"We hope could try launches capsules in this decade. We are not sure when exactly, but will as soon as possible, "said NASA Associate Administrator for Exploration Systems Mission, Douglas Cooke.
Like the Apollo after land 12 people on the Moon, the spacecraft roundtrip MPCV will land on the Pacific Ocean when he arrived on Earth. However, this new vehicle will have a version of the 21st century: wider and ten times safer in the launch and the module malfunctioned, possibly another roundtrip rides dibandang.
"We have a system of cancellation. In everything, from sitting in a Chair up to fly to the top. The shuttle does not have that capability, "said Cooke.
Cooke also explained, the spacecraft was able to run the mission to the Moon, or the advanced exploration mission to Mars. Each mission continued to be accompanied by a larger compartment for the crew's mission.
Currently, spacecraft MPCV still in pengujuab in the test facility of Lockheed Martin in Denver.
