The Ares I-X flight will provide any opportunity to test and prove hardware, facilities and ground operations associated with the Ares I crew launch vehicle. It also will allow NASA to gather critical data during ascent of the integrated Orion crew exploration vehicle and the Ares I launch vehicle stack -- data that will ensure the vehicle system as a whole is safe and fully operational before astronauts begin traveling into orbit.
