For lunar missions, a second vehicle will be developed. This vehicle will initially be used to launch lunar mission components and eventually, components of missions to Mars. According to Griffin, this Shuttle-derived Launch Vehicle (SLV) and the rest of the lunar architecture was derived backwards from some of the core requirements the study team saw for human missions to Mars. In computer terms, it is forward compatible.
