CCP Objective

2

CCP is leading NASAs 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 theprogram office dedicated to enablingcommercial human spaceflightcapabilities.

Program Manager (PM) will

reside at KSC Deputy Program Manager

located at JSC

Program Mission Manage the investment in the

development of commercial end-to-

end space transportation systems Manage the CTS (Crew TransportationSystem) certification process

Lead the technical and programmaticpartner integration and approvalfunctions

The NASA Recovery Act stimulus funding,included $50M to stimulate efforts within theprivate sector to develop and demonstratetechnologies that enable commercial humanspaceflight 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 December2010, with the exception of ULA and Boeing whoreceived no-cost extensions to April 2011

A successful Commercial Crew Program will:

Transform human spaceflight for future

generations

Result in safe, reliable, cost effective crew

transportation to LEO and in support of ISS

Free NASAs limited resources for beyond-LEO

capabilities Reduce reliance on foreign systems
