The development of NASA's next-generation crew launch vehicle, the Ares I rocket, took another step forward on Jan. 29, 2009, as Alliant Techsystems, or ATK, successfully tested a critical piece. ATK conducted a full-scale separation test of the forward skirt extension for the Ares I-X flight test at its facility in Promontory, Utah. The Ares I-X test launch is scheduled to lift off from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida during 2009.

  • As an American I am really embarrassed by Ares1. Werner Von Braun would be rolling in his grave if he saw this. Almost everything was done wrong with this rocket. In 1965 we has a reliable, safe, low cost rocket in Gemini / titan II with the LR87 engine. We had 10 launches in one year. Lets bring that back and upgrade the second stage like Russia did with Soyuz. Ares 1 is expected to be 1 billion a launch (thats even more than shuttle.) Forget Ares 1.
