NASA'S PARTNERS MEET MILESTONES FOR DEVELOPING FUTURE COMMERCIAL SPACECRAFT
WASHINGTON -- NASA's industry partners have met all their initial
milestones in developing commercial crew transportation capabilities
to reduce the gap in U.S. human spaceflight capability.
NASA posted its first status report on the agency's Commercial Crew
Development 2 (CCDev2) program to its website. The report highlights
the progress and accomplishments for the agency's commercial
spaceflight development efforts. Designed to be a bi-monthly report,
it is targeted toward the interested layperson and other
non-technical stakeholders in order to keep them informed of our
achievements.
"We're only 60 days into CCDev 2, and their progress is right on
schedule," said Phil McAlister, NASA's acting director, commercial
spaceflight development.
NASA's Commercial Crew Development program is investing financial and
technical resources to stimulate efforts within the private sector to
develop and demonstrate safe, reliable, and cost-effective space
transportation capabilities.
