2 CCP Objective CCP is leading NASA s efforts to develop an American-made commercial capability for crew transportation and rescue services to the ISS following this year's retirement of the space shuttle fleet Kennedy Space Center will host the program office dedicated to enabling commercial human spaceflight capabilities. Program Manager (PM) will reside at KSC Deputy Program Manager located at JSC Program Mission Manage the investment in the development of commercial end-toend space transportation systems Manage the CTS (Crew Transportation System) certification process Lead the technical and programmatic partner integration and approval functions 2

5 Insight/Oversight Model Level of Involvement NASA will perform insight/oversight on the Commercial Partner s design, development, and certification process to evaluate the end-toend crew transportation system Scientific & Commercial Spacecraft--Contracted Human Spaceflight COTS & CRS Launch Services Program Commercial Crew Low In/Oversight Intense In/Oversight

6 Commercial Crew Structure and Timelines Title Purpose CCDev Develop and demonstrate technologies that enable commercial human spaceflight capabilities. February Awards April All Agreements Complete CCDev Round 2 Mature the Design and Development of elements of the system, such as launch vehicles and spacecraft. October Announcement for Proposals April Awards May Agreements Complete CCDev Round 3 Design of integrated commercial crew systems. CCP Mature Development, Test and Certification of end-toend systems. Prepared for services to ISS by end of Today 6 Pre-Decisional NASA Internal Use Only

7 Commercial Crew Development (CCDev) The NASA Recovery Act stimulus funding, included $50M to stimulate efforts within the private sector to develop and demonstrate technologies that enable commercial human spaceflight capabilities On February 1, 2010 five partners were announced and received funding: Blue Origin Boeing Paragon Sierra Nevada Corporation United Launch Alliance (ULA) All Agreements were concluded by December 2010, with the exception of ULA and Boeing who received no-cost extensions to April
