CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - NASA's Commercial Crew Program Manager Ed Mango updates media on the progress of American human spaceflight development at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. He and astronaut Mike Good discussed the future steps the program will take to certify crew transportation systems for missions to the International Space Station. The program is working toward the next phase of certification, which will be called Commercial Crew Transportation Capability, or CCtCap. That phase will include a joint test concept in which NASA astronauts will play a role in flight testing the systems. To learn more about CCP, visit www.nasa.gov/commercialcrew.
