What is the name of the android trembling Star Wars, but also one of the strokes of genius of communications experts mini link ericsson from NASA, who have "acronimizzato" as the Commercial Crew and Cargo Program Office (CCCPO). Namely, the department that manages relationships, and funding between the agency and private partners involved in the development of space transportation systems for cargo (COTS Commercial Orbital Transportation Services) and crew (also known as CCDev: Commercial Crew Development).
The aim is to extend human presence mini link ericsson in space by enabling an expanding and robust U.S. commercial space transportation industry, which means supplement, or replace, mini link ericsson NASA for the transport of goods and persons mini link ericsson in low orbit (well, at International Rail Station).
In practice, if and when they will get, these services will be direct competitors of both the Soyuz (and Progress) and the European ATV and Japan's HTV. But above all, should cover the infamous gap between the set-aside of the shuttle and the start of operations of NASA's future space system (whatever ...).
At the moment, the C3PO distributes $ 500 million mini link ericsson for the freighter and 50 demonstrators for those of manned aircraft, which tells you which direction to move above initiatives in the area. Industry observers predict that many will become increasingly important (perhaps mini link ericsson critical) in the coming months and years; in light of the Augustine report, or at least not one of his few interpretations.
Any way you look, there's no doubt that C3PO, COTS and CCDev hear about a lot, so I thought that a summary mini link ericsson of the main projects funded by the program could be useful; but also because there is a lot to say in summary, I will do it in installments.
A mo 'introduction, we mark the meantime, this Wikipedia entry (alas, in English, mini link ericsson and not updated, at least at the time of writing), especially the part that reconstructs the history of the program. Always introduce to remember that the funding mechanism involves a series of milestones or targets, each of which corresponds to the payment of a certain amount of money with which the company can move forward to the next stage. Also, to complicate a little 'life to those who would like to understand something, NASA has divided mini link ericsson the project into four capabilities of progressive difficulty, the last of which, marked by the letter D, provides transportation of crew.
Finally, it must be said that if companies in direct partnership within two COTS, SpaceX and Orbital, there are two other, PlanetSpace and SpaceDev, mini link ericsson participating with different chords (if you want to read the individual agreements, can be found here ). And a couple of months ago, Boeing was associated, in person or through agreements, some of the teams in the running for the submission of proposals for the development of manned (within mini link ericsson CCDev, in case you heard the lack of any acronym, the where "winners" should be announced soon).
