There’s one other example of ways of going to the Planet Mars, in which “Elon Musk- Space X” has demonstrated, also NASA too has demonstrated their Path towards Mars. In this Case Orbital-ATK has demonstrated their Transportation systems, the CisLunar is one vision towards utilizing the Cygnus module system, basing on the “NASA SLS-Space Launch System” as the main carrier launch vehicle in the repetitive construction of the each Cygnus manned serviced modules in creating a space faring craft in featuring construction modular design in which each component is purpose build for the mission specifications..

As the modules assemble… then it’s ready to be transported with a flight crew on board for the next step in journey wise towards the Mars.. Utilizing the Orion Module as the principal work truck, in the construction time frame starting on from 2020 when the SLS program starts to takes place.. in where on 202 A ICH- Cygnus based initial Cislunar Module is launched on board the SLS with a manned Orion Module as things develop from there, the module is extracted, and placed, parked in position… until  2022 the Orion Crew Exploration Spacecraft and cargo pod launched aboard SLS for a human mission to a lunar orbit.. in where it gets assemble with the first module then more arrive in 2024 time frame where more modules added to increase capability and providing a periodic visits by human crews.. until on the 2028 time frame the habitation could be used as a destination for commercial or international unscrewed lunar missions.. in providing the 2030 time frame the CisLunar Configuration could be modified to accommodate with more modules for a duration mission to the Planet Mars as outfitted with international partners in this endeavor..

On United States time, During the hours of 2003 hours EDT, on 16th October 2016.. Orbital ATK is reset to launch again on re supplying NASA The international Space Station… in this is the outline components of what it’s to resupply the international Space Station from “Orbital-ATK”  During the beginning of the weekend the Antares 230 series Rocket with its newly acquired RD 181 engines was prepared in set to launching raised positioning.. in which the S.S. Alan Pointdexter Cygnus Spacecraft was rolled out from its assembly building after all of the recently components installed together..  The resupply vehicle was named in honoring the former astronaut and Naval Aviator Captain Alan Poindexter whom flown on a few STS-Space Transportation Systems- Space Shuttle Flights..

The launch will be carried out on from MARS Pad 0A, from Wallops Flight Facility, in Virginia, given a weather permitting launching from the East Coast of the United States… The Resupply mission under the CRS- Commercial Resupply Services initiative the payload featuring this sixth mission,  of sending  least 28,700 Kilograms payload…. During launch it’ll be maneuvering into park into a low orbit for the interception of the International Space Station… The payload in question consisting Saffire II, to test combustion behavioral dynamics in micro gravity with an additional Nano Rack Deployer payload of Spire Cube Satellites for weather data forecasting…

The Turin Italian made Thales Alenia Space Cygnus Cargo Spacecraft is a two components module system, that involves the SM -Service module which has its propulsion engines, power units.. With its PCM- pressurized cargo module in which carries on multiple arrays of crew supplies, spare components, scientific experiments
