Commercial ISS Programs

1

The NASA vision of commercial human spaceflight

to low-Earth orbit is a robust, vibrant enterprise with many launch providers

and a wide range of government and public uses

2

CCP’s NASA PurposeSafe transport of NASA and NASA-sponsored astronauts to and from the space station

CCP’s Public PurposeSupport the development of non-NASA markets for commercial human transportation services to and from low-Earth orbit

A successful commercial human space transportation system will fortify the International Space Station, allow NASA to focus on its Moon mission, reduce

the cost of access to space and significantly contribute to the world’s economy

3

PresenterPresentation NotesGoalOne of NASA’s missions is to advance the use and development of space to benefit the quality of life on EarthIncreasing the scale and diversity of commercial activity in space is essential to fulfilling this mission

In 2010, NASA established a philosophy to partner with the commercial aerospace industry to develop crew transportation systems that would meet the agency’s low-Earth orbit and International Space Station requirements, and foster a new human spaceflight industry

• Defined goal: end-to-end transportation solution

• Clearly stated safety requirements

• Competitive selection of service providers

• Firm-fixed price contracts• Milestone-based agreements

that support competition,development, testing and demonstration of spaceflight systems

• Range of launch vehicle and spacecraft combinations

• Commercial industry investment

Unique Government-Industry Model

PresenterPresentation NotesUnique Model that Empowers Commercial Partners

Provide commercial partners with maximum flexibility to create safe and cost-effective transportation systems Incorporate requirements and concepts of operations at high-level allowing partners to apply their most efficient and effective manufacturing processes Support commercial industry business operating techniques Accelerate International Space Station capabilities by sustaining research, operations and maintenance of station through commercial assistance Enable expansion of diversity on station - NASA astronauts, commercial flight-crew members, ISS international partner crew Work hand-in-hand with partners with the ultimate goal of FAA Licensing and NASA Human Spaceflight Certification

Inter-Agency Support of Commercial SpaceflightFederal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Department of Commerce (DOC)• “Government Astronaut” classification• Third-party indemnification• Mission licensing: launch, re-entry, launch site and operator • Public health and safety protections• Jurisdiction and authority during different phases of flight• Cross waivers for government payloads/propertyDepartment of Defense (DoD)• Launch and Entry Steering Group • Synergizing certification effortsFederal Communications Commission (FCC) & National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA)• Ensure secure communication pathway availability• Spectrum usage and authorizationNational Transportation and Safety Board (NTSB)• Independent investigation authority

NASA Crew Advise and Assistance

• Veteran astronauts work directly with Boeing and SpaceX as part of team

• Provide human in-the-loop understanding and insight

• Share best practices • Offer advise based on

previous experience with variety of spacecraft and launch vehicles

• Help prepare for both test and operational missions
