Mars Constellation mission profile?

[Majorjim!]

Hi all,

I am looking for the details of the now cancelled Orion Mars mission. The exact number of launches, their launch order and what was launched.

I have searched the t'internet to no avail.

Has anyone come across anything like this?

Thanks in advance.

There is also an amazing KSP recreation of it, which you can view here:

I think one of these wouldn't be to hard to do in ksp. Why do you want the details? Planning on making a mod? Or maybe a stock version?

Edit-whoa, someones already done this in ksp? (that post didn't load before I put the earlier comment in it)

I don't think there was ever a Constellation-specific, officially approved Mars plan. When people speak of "Constellation Mars mission" what they usually mean is the NASA Design Reference Mission. So this is probably what you are looking for: http://www.nasa.gov/pdf/373665main_NASA-SP-2009-566.pdf

Edit: Given that doing this is in regular KSP is already impressive, what do we call it when someone does that in RSS? This guy did just that:

For reference: It takes a minimum of 20 500 m/s of delta-v to do this mission in RSS. 20 friggin thousand, seriously, and that's with maximum use of aerobraking.

WOW! That's very impressive. Its not a constellation recreation though. You know, seven launches, landers first then crew, many rovers and gizmos.
