CCT-STD-1140 (REV. DRAFT 4.0), COMMERCIAL CREW PROGRAM: CREW TRANSPORTATION TECHNICAL STANDARDS AND DESIGN EVALUATION CRITERIA (29-APR-2011)

CCT-STD-1140 (REV. DRAFT 4.0), COMMERCIAL CREW PROGRAM: CREW TRANSPORTATION TECHNICAL STANDARDS AND DESIGN EVALUATION CRITERIA (29-APR-2011)., Under the guidance of processes provided by Crew Transportation Plan (CCT-PLN-1100), implementation of this document with its sister documents, Crew Transportation Technical Management Processes (CCT-PLN-1120), ISS Crew Transportation and Services Requirements Document (CCT-STD-1130), Crew Transportation Operations Standards (CCT STD-1150), and ISS to Commercial Orbital Transportation Services Interface Requirements Document (SSP 50808), may achieve a National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) certification for services to the International Space Station (ISS) for the Commercial Partner. When NASA Crew Transportation System (CTS) certification is achieved for ISS, the Commercial Partner will be eligible to provide transportation services to and from the ISS during the Services phase of the NASA Commercial Crew Program (CCP). This document includes the criteria, expectations, and insight criteria that will be used in the evaluation of technical standards for launch vehicle, spacecraft, and ground system requirements identified by the International Space Station (ISS) Program and the CCP for the CTS. The CTS refers to all assets and services necessary to meet the requirements of CCT-REQ-1130, including pre-flight planning, trajectory and abort analysis, ground processing and manufacturing, ground operations, mission control, training, launch control, launch, on-orbit operations, post-landing recovery operations, safety and mission assurance, and all other functions required for safe and successful human space flight missions. When elements of the CTS are technical or specific to a requirement, they will be called out. For example, the term CTS spacecraft will be used when the launch vehicle and ground elements are not specific to that portion of the design.
