Orion 13 is the name of a currently unmanned NASA mission, that will be the first Constellation lunar fly-by flight in conjunction with the Altair 1 lunar lander. [ cite web | url = http://www.nasaspaceflight.com/content/?cid=5335 | title = $700m gap threatens major delays to Ares test flights/development | publisher = NASAspaceflight.com|date=2008-01-18|accessdate=2008-02-01]

Orion 13 will be launched into a Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) after the launch of Altair 1 and will perform the first Orion/Altair docking in LEO. After docking is completed, the Orion/Altair combination will then fire its Earth Departure Stage and make a lunar fly-by a few days later.

Orion 13 will be launched by an Ares I from Kennedy Space Center's LC-39B.
