The ORION project or the Spartan I program was the phase one of the Spartan Supersoldier program. Initiated in 2491, as an element of the ORION project, not much is known about this first generation of warriors (their training, augmentation, goals, etc.).[1]
The original Spartan Project was created to test genetic enhancements on volunteers from the armed forces.[2]. These enhancements were the precursors to the genetic enhancements used in the Spartan-II program. The mortality rate for those injected was high, a factor which contributed largely to the failure of the program. Those who survived the injection(s) had a greatly increased rate of mental problems later on in life. It is not known at this time how many soldiers participated in this program. However, it is mentioned that there are several offspring, some of which were chosen for the Spartan-II program. Some of the others tried to create their own army to fight the Covenant but just as they were about to bring the fight to the Covenant, the Covenant invaded Earth[3].
However, they were successful enough to garner the necessary consent and funding for a second phase, aptly named SPARTAN II.

Spartan 1.1
The children of Spartan 1.0 are called Spartan 1.1s. Including Janissary James and Kevin. there are 16 1.1s.[4] They have much of the same augments as their parents.
Trivia
- Project Orion was also a spacecraft program in the real world. It was the first engineering design study of spacecraft powered by nuclear pulse propulsion. Its supporters felt that it had great potential for space travel, but it lost political approval because of concerns with fallout from its propulsion. The Partial Test Ban Treaty of 1963 is generally acknowledged to have ended the project.
- Washouts from the Spartan-I program were used as drill instructors in the Spartan-III program.
