Altair Lunar Lander is the linchpin in the Constellation Program for human return to the Moon. In the 2010design reference mission, Altair is to be delivered to low Earth orbit by the Ares V heavy lift launch vehicle, and after subsequent docking with Orion in LEO, the Altair/Orion stack is delivered through trans-lunar injection (TLI). The Altair/Orion stack separates from the Ares V Earth departure stage shortly after TLI and continues the flight to the Moon as a single stack. Fig. 1 depicts one version of the Altair lunar lander.
