Editing Earth orbit rendezvous (section)

==Constellation==
This mode had been revived for [[Project Constellation]] as the [[Earth Departure Stage]] (EDS) and [[Altair (spacecraft)|Altair]] (LSAM), which would be launched into low Earth orbit on the [[Ares V]] rocket.  The EDS and Altair would  be met by the separately launched [[Orion (Constellation program)|Orion]] (CEV). Once joined in low Earth orbit, the three would then travel out to the Moon, and the Orion/Altair combination would fly a [[lunar orbit rendezvous]] flight pattern.{{Citation needed|date=September 2010}}
