Goals: 1. Lead Human Exploration: Exploit the ISS as a cornerstone of human exploration :Enable the

commercialization of LEO; Extend human exploration beyond LEO2. Lead Internationally: Leverage ISS experience to lead international participation in human space

exploration; Guide development of Agency Global Exploration Roadmap; Champion international participation in development of exploration capabilities

3. Excel in Leadership and Management: Lead through innovative technical and business management practices; Lead by fully engaging the Human Spaceflight team

4. Expand Relevance to Life on Earth: Intertwine JSC in mutually beneficial partnerships for economic and societal impact; Inform, educate and engage all generations to advance human space exploration; Strategically communicate JSC’s relevance in terms meaningful to our stakeholders

Vision: JSC leads a global enterprise in human space exploration that is sustainable, affordable, and benefits all humankind.

International Space Station

• Centerpiece of human spaceflight thru 2020

• Premier International Scientific Laboratory

• 11 years continuous crew operation

• International partnership of 15 countries

• Crew of six, 200 people have worked aboard

• Length of a football field, size of 5 bedroom house

• 152 space walks, almost 1,000 hours

Commercial Access to Low Earth Orbit

Note: Representative images, vehicles are not to scale

• Commercial Orbital Transportation System (cargo) 2012 milestones:• Orbital demo mission to ISS• SpaceX cargo mission to ISS

• Commercial Crew Development • Anticipate that one or more commercial crew systems will be

available for transportation of astronauts to and from the ISS – by middle of this decade

Orion Spacecraft

• New flagship of future human space exploration

• Designed and managed at JSC along with life support, space suits, and astronaut training

• Upcoming milestones• 1Q 2012: Orion flight test vehicle ships

from MAF to KSC

• June 2012: Orion flight test vehicle initial power-up

• Oct. 2012: Orion flight test vehicle crew module/service module mating

• April 2013: Orion flight test vehicle launch abort system mating

• 1Q 2014: Exploration Flight Test -1

Technology and Advanced Exploration Systems

• Challenges must be solved before missions begin

• How will astronauts live in deep space?

• What systems are required?

• How reduce risk and cost?

• Numerous technology and AES projects underway to solve critical technical problems of deep space exploration

• Key areas:• Crew systems• Vehicle systems• Operations

JSC Recent Progress

• Operating International Space Station through at least 2020 – Premier National Laboratory and Commercial Space Destination

• Enabling Commercial Space with Expertise and Facilities– Leaning processes and facilities to provide competitive services

• JSC leading development of MPCV, Supporting SLS– MPCV value approximate $1.1B annually

• JSC Advanced Exploration Systems Development Work• Leading International Partners on Global Exploration Architecture• Expanding Partnerships Producing Mutual Benefits

– Spin-off NASA technology to Energy, Safety, Medical, Automotive, etc.

• Enhancing University Relationships– Integral Partners in Technology Development

• Developing Innovative Partnership Mechanisms– BAYTECH Established to Facilitate New Business Opportunities

– HTC Technology Acceleration Center at JSC

– Expanding relationship with Greater Huston Partnership

– Supporting new Regional Center of Innovation and Commercialization
