The Boeing Company selected Aitech Defense Systems to provide space-grade products and services to support the Commercial Crew Transportation System (CCTS) and Crew Space Transportation (CST)-100 spacecraft, part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program.
Boeing’s CST-100 is being developed as part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program, which aims to resume US-based flights to space by 2017. The CST-100 will transport up to seven passengers, or a mix of crew and cargo, to the ISS and other low-Earth orbit destinations.
Under the Commercial Crew Transportation Capability (CCtCap) phase of the program, Boeing will build three CST-100s at its Kennedy Space Center facility in Florida. The spacecraft will undergo a pad-abort test, an unmanned flight test and, ultimately, the first crewed flight to the ISS in 2017. Boeing recently completed the first two milestones in the CCtCap phase: the Certification Baseline Review (CBR) and Ground System Critical Design Review (CDR).
CBR completion allows construction of system hardware, such as the spacecraft and United Launch Alliance (ULA) launch vehicle adaptor. The Ground System CDR evaluates all the ground operations and systems, mission operation systems, facilities, training systems including mock-ups and trainers, and the control center.
