In October 2006 NASA released a draft schedule of all planned NASA Project Constellation missions through 2019. This document included descriptions of a series of proposed vehicle test missions. In July 2007 the schedule was reviewed. In January 2008 the schedule was again reviewed and is as follows:

List of Constellation missions

List of ascent abort tests

These will be conducted using the Orion Abort Test Booster (ATB), similar to the Little Joe II used for Apollo testing. A boilerplate Orion capsule and the escape tower will be tested on these missions.

List of pad abort tests

These will test the launch escape system of the Orion spacecraft on the launchpad.
