orion (spacecraft)
Not to be confused with the conceptual Project Orion nuclear pulse propulsion spacecraft.
The Orion is the crewed spacecraft used by NASA for the Artemis Program.
It is a partially-reusable spacecraft with a capacity of four, designed to carry astronauts to and from the Moon. It consists of a reusable crew module, a space capsule built by Lockheed Martin, and the expendable European Service Module, built by Airbus.
The Orion also has onboard amenities such as an exercise machine and a proper toilet, which the Apollo command modules did not have.
