Orion 5 is the first planned manned launch of both the new Orion spacecraft and Ares I rocket and will conduct a 14-day mission to the International Space Station (ISS) in which the spacecraft will rendezvous and dock with the station. The mission will have a two-man crew similar in nature to that used on the first four Space Shuttle test flights.
