Commercial Orbital Transportation Services (COTS) Update

Program Status The COTS FY11 augmentation budget has been approved. 128M is allocated for each partner. SEC. 401. COMMERCIAL CARGO DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM. The Administrator shall continue to support the existing Commercial Orbital Transportation Services program, aimed at enabling the commercial space industry in support of NASA to develop reliable means of launching cargo and supplies to the ISS throughout the duration of the facility’s operation. The Administrator may apply funds towards the reduction of risk to the timely start of these services, specifically— (1) efforts to conduct a flight test; (2) accelerate development; and (3) develop the ground infrastructure needed for commercial cargo capability. Associated new milestones for Orbital and first and second quarter’s for SpaceX have been negotiated. Final SpaceX mod is under review (contents will be presented). 3

Summary of the Augmentation Milestones that reduce risks associated with the remaining development and timely demonstration of cargo space transportation capabilities. The additional Milestones improve the chance of mission success by (1) augmenting ground and flight testing; (2) accelerating development of enhanced cargo capabilities; or (3) further developing the ground infrastructure needed for commercial cargo capabilities.

Commercial Crew Program Update

Program Approach Fiscal Year 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 Demo/Test Flights Commercial Crew Initial Design Critical Design Certification The 2010 NASA Authorization Act established commercial crew as the primary means for ISS crew transportation. The program objective is to facilitate the development of a U.S. commercial crew space transportation capability for achieving safe, reliable, and cost effective access to and from LEO and the International Space Station (ISS) by late 2016. – Use a non-traditional acquisition and partnering approach – Competition is a fundamental aspect of the strategy – NASA could purchase commercial services to meet its ISS crew transportation needs Missions 2019 2020

Commercial Crew Program (CCP) CCP is leading NASA’s efforts to develop an American-made commercial capability for crew transportation and rescue services to the station following this year's retirement of the space shuttle fleet. – Program Manager will reside at KSC – Deputy Program Manager located at JSC Program Mission – Manage the investment in the development of commercial end-to-end transportation systems – Manage the CTS (Crew Transportation System) certification process – Lead the technical and programmatic partner integration and approval functions
