Orion ESM structure
Orion ESM3-Structure
Structure of the third European Service Module (ESM-3) for Orion, the American crewed spacecraft for the Artemis programme, at Airbus' Bremen site.

Orion ESM
Integration of the European Service Module (ESM) for Orion, the American crewed spacecraft for the Artemis programme, at Airbus' Bremen site.
The ESM is cylindrical in shape and about four metres in diameter and height. It has four solar arrays (19 metres across when unfurled) that generate enough energy to power two households. In addition to its function as the main propulsion system for the Orion spacecraft, the ESM will be responsible for orbital manoeuvring and position control.
