What shape are they?

I've seen the Orion spacecraft with rectangular arrays in some pictures, but in others, I see them as circular. I'm sure the was probably a design change. Does anybody know what the current Orion spacecraft's solar arrays are shaped like?

This NASA pdf, dated August, 2006, shows circular panels.

For an authoritative answer, though, I'd suggest posting your question on http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/

Alright, I'll do that. Thanks for the tip
