"This artist's concept animation depicts a mission to a near-Earth asteroid. In this animation, astronauts in the Multi-Mission Space Exploration Vehicle (MMSEV) dock with an asteroid, perform a spacewalk, and return to the Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle (MPCV) for the journey back to Earth."
Another animated video showing a future space vehicle for similar purposes:

"Boeing video animation of the CST-100 crew transportation vehicle being designed with Bigelow Aerospace under NASA's Commercial Crew Development (CCDev) program.
The seven-crew CST-100 is bigger than the Apollo capsule, but smaller than NASA's Orion, and is designed to be launched by a range of rockets incoluding Atlas IV, Delta V and Falcon 9.Video shows the capsule operating with Bigelow's planned inflatable-module Orbital Space Complex."
