   •    Description: For the first time in a generation, NASA is building a new human spacecraft, ushering in a new era of space exploration. The Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle (MPCV), designed for human spaceflight beyond low-Earth orbit into deep space, will perform crewed missions to the moon, asteroids, and eventually Mars. This article examines the testing, exploration and use of aluminum-lithium products in the MPCV, including legacy alloy 2219-T87, and Airware alloys 2050-T84 and 2195-T84.
