Boeing Submits CCDev Round 2 Proposal

Boeing Submits Proposal for 2nd Round of NASA Commercial Crew Development Program
“Boeing is proposing an approach that will significantly mature the CST-100 design through demonstrations of critical subsystems. The CST-100 spacecraft is designed to support NASA’s primary objective of affordable access to Low Earth Orbit. It will carry up to seven crew and passengers, is reusable up to 10 times, and is compatible with a variety of expendable launch vehicles. The spacecraft — which is comprised of a Crew Module and a Service Module — draws on Apollo-proven aerodynamic characteristics in a design that uses commercial, off-the-shelf, cost-effective technologies.”
