Crew exploration vehicle docked with ISS, illustration
Illustration of a manned Crew Exploration Vehicle (CEV) docked with the International Space Station (ISS). This view is from \below\" the ISS with a combination of sun light and reflected earth light illuminating the scene. Visible elements of the ISS include a pressurized mating adapter (PMA), an international docking adapter (IDA), and manned modules, and unmanned cargo vessels. On the far right also docked with the ISS is a Soyuz TMA-M manned spacecraft. Various CEV designs have been produced, including the Orion spacecraft for NASA's Space Launch System (SLS). They typically carry a crew of 2 to 6 astronauts. This CEV is 10 meters long with a maximum diameter of 6 meters, while the solar voltaic panels have a maximum spread of a little over 18 meters."
