Description: Ares V JSC2008e039782, 2008 --- The Ares V Cargo Launch Vehicle is also in development at Marshall and will be the primary heavy lifter for Constellation. At a height of 109.2 meters and a diameter of 8.40 meters, the Ares V will be comparable in size to the Apollo-era Saturn V. A core stage twice as large as the Shuttle External Tank and powered by five RS-68 engines (rated at 3,340 kN of thrust each) will be supplemented with two five-segment SRBs identical to those used by the Ares I rocket. The core stage will deliver 130,000 kg to Low Earth Orbit from pad LC-39A at Kennedy Space Center.
