About the Aries Spacecraft:

Released in April 1968, "2001: A Space Odyssey" continues to captivate many fans as a pinnacle of sci-fi cinema. The Aries spacecraft featured in the film was operated for transportation between Earth's orbit and the Moon and was regularly scheduled for commuter use. It's a spherical lunar lander, designed to make the journey between the Moon and Earth in just one day thanks to improved engine performance. The scenes featuring this spacecraft were a visual highlight for audiences.
