The '''Ares I''' CLV (Crew launch vehicle) is a heavy launch vehicle design for carrying the [[CEV]] into [[LEO]]. Its first stage is a five segment [[SRB]], like those used for the '''Ares V''', creating up to 16 MN thrust at liftoff. The second stage is currently under development and will be a [[cryogen]] stage with two [[J-2X (Engine)|J-2X]] engines.

It will be launched from either LC-34, LC-37A, or LC-39 at [[Cape Canaveral Air Force Station]]/[[Kennedy Space Center]]

The '''Ares V''' CaLV (Cargo launch vehicle) is a heavy launch vehicle design for launching up to 125 tons into [[LEO]] or 45 tons to the moon (not including a docked [[CEV]]).  
 
The '''Ares V''' CaLV (Cargo launch vehicle) is a heavy launch vehicle design for launching up to 125 tons into [[LEO]] or 45 tons to the moon (not including a docked [[CEV]]).  
  
It consists of two and a half stages, two five segment SRBs with a cryogenic sustainer stage and a cryogenic second stage. The sustainer stage uses five expendable [[RS-68|RS-68]] rocket engines, while the second stage  uses a single [[J-2X (Engine)|J-2X]]. It will most likely launch from a modified [[LC 39 (KSC)|LC 39]] from [[KSC]].
