CCP Objective
2
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-to-end space transportation systems
– Manage the CTS (Crew Transportation System) certification process
– Lead the technical and programmatic partner integration and approval functions
