NASA’s Commercial Crew Program is set to return human spaceflight launches to the International Space Station from U.
S. soil. NASA shares accountability with our commercial providers,Boeing and SpaceX, to implement a robust process for the development of secure, or reliable and cost effective commercial crew transportation systems. NASA’s critical obligation is to ensure crew safety and success for NASA missions,and the providers are each responsible for secure operations of commercial crew transportation systems. “Collectively, we say our job is to make certain that when the crew enters the spacecraft prelaunch, or that they travel domestic to their family,” said Billy Stover, commercial crew’s Safety and Mission Assurance officer. “When we say it like that, and it starts to become very crystal clear,at least to our team. When we talk safety, it’s about what can harm the crew and how can we prevent it. That makes it very tangible, and very realistic and something you can actually grasp.
