The Crew Exploration Vehicle (CEV) is the core human space flight element of NASAs Constellation Systems. By early 2014, Northrop Grumman-Boeings CEV will set a new standard in human space flight - the safest and most affordable vehicle system ever built for delivering explorers from Earth's surface to low-Earth orbit and back. This artist's rendering shows a view from within the CEV cabin of the in-space system elements with which the Spiral 1 CEV will rendezvous to perform lunar exploration planned in Spirals 2 and 3.
