the first stage of its Ares 1 rocket, a five-segment booster evolved from its four-segment solid rocket boosters (SRBs)... will launch astronaut crews into orbit to either dock at the International Space Station (ISS) or press onward to the Moon though the latter would require rendezvous with a lunar lander and Earth Departure Stage launched by the planned heavy-lift Ares 5 rocket.
