The Vision for Space Exploration

• Objectives
• Implement a sustained and affordable human and
  robotic program
• Extend human presence across the solar system and
  beyond
• Develop supporting innovative technologies,
  knowledge, and infrastructures
• Promote international and commercial
  participation in exploration

• Major Milestones
• 2008 Initial flight test of CEV
• 2008 Launch first lunar robotic orbiter
• 2009-2010 Robotic mission to lunar surface
• 2011 First Unmanned CEV flight
• 2014 First crewed CEV flight
• 2012-2015 Jupiter Icy Moon Orbiter
  (JIMO)/Prometheus
• 2015-2020 First human mission to the Moon

Partnerships

• Teaming Wins Awards
• Awards made in mid to late 2004
• Common feature of award winners is teaming
  arrangement between a NASA center and an industry
  or academic partner
• Future BAAs will also stress the importance of
  partnering on proposals
• Industry-Led Infusion through NASA IPP
• NASA IPP plans to implement a cost-sharing
  program for dual-use technology development
• FWRTTC can facilitate connections with
  appropriate NASA center technical personnel
