Since the Kick-Off Meeting…

Kick-Off held on May 15, 2001 Charter Development Team

Developed draft charter for review Received no comments from general membership

Sub-Groups Sub-Groups realigned slightly during Charter development

• Master Planning & Environmental Spaceport Visions and Architectures

• Added Safety Issues KSC leads/facilitators identified to begin sub-group activities Held pre-meeting telecons

New members Over 100 new faces from Kick-Off meeting

ASTWG Charter - Vision

VISION STATEMENT:

As aerospace leaders from government, industry and academia, we will promote the development of Advanced Spaceports that will facilitate the safe, cost-effective and successful operation of existing and future generations of space transportation systems to serve America’s space access needs into the future.

12

ASTWG Charter - Mission

The development of Advanced Spaceport Technologies is essential to enable the safer, lower-cost access to space that will make future spaceports technically and economically viable. In support of this goal, the ASTWG group will:

Provide a forum for federal and state government agencies, industry, and academia to work together to develop a national vision for spaceport development;

Provide a mechanism for the identification, prioritization, and recommendation of spaceport technologies to develop;

In addition to technology development, envisioning of multiple enabling activities such as master planning, business development, education/outreach that would be important to the successful development of a commercial spaceport;

13

ASTWG Charter – Mission (cont.)

Develop an understanding of federal and state policies and regulations that impact spaceport development and influence the establishment or revisions of these policies; and,

Promote awareness of current and planned initiatives in the stakeholder community to foster collaboration, identify business and technology gaps, and minimize unnecessary duplication of development effort

14

ASTWG Charter - Goals

The primary goals of ASTWG are:

Increase future market opportunities by lowering the cost of access to space Concurrently develop Spaceport technologies with vehicle development A synergistic approach to reducing operations costs

Improve the safety and reliability associated with space access operations

Respond to space access community needs and requirements

Leveraging of available Spaceport development resources nationwide

Become a recognized source of Spaceport technology information

15

ASTWG Charter - Objectives

The Advanced Spaceport Technology Working Group was organized to pursue and promote Spaceport development activities that will lead to a reduction in the overall cost of access to space. The scope of the Advanced Spaceport Technology Working Group is to:

a. develop a national spaceport vision;

b. develop a national spaceport architecture that encompasses all current and future spaceports, planned and proposed launch vehicles, and the mission control systems necessary to conduct space flight from anywhere in the nation;

c. develop roadmaps, including near-, mid-, and far-term technology and enabling activities, to achievement of the future spaceport vision;

d. develop a prioritized list of recommended spaceport technologies for development and testing;

16

ASTWG Charter – Objectives (cont.)

e. develop a list of enabling activities that are important to the development of a commercial spaceport;

f. develop an inventory of current policies and regulations that impact spaceport development with recommendation for revisions necessitated by technology and business developments;

g. identify potential research opportunities for NASA Space Grant and EPSCoR organizations and other universities;

h. develop an inventory of current spaceport research, development, and implementation activities;

i. advance common Spaceport matters in an organized forum;

j. exchange information and foster cooperation among space access community;

k. promote and advocate the development of Spaceports on national, regional and local levels and communicate the ideas, recommendations and analyses arising from the preceding objectives.

23

Sub-Group Break-Out Sessions

ASTWG members can serve on multiple sub-groups For break-out sessions, select sub-group that you are most interested

in Master Planning / Environmental Sub-Group has been divided into:

• Spaceport Visions and Architectures

• Safety & Environmental Issues Use these sessions as the formal “kick-off” of sub-group activities

Determine NASA/KSC and non-NASA/KSC co-leads

• KSC representatives have been assigned to facilitate initial sub-group activities

Develop description of sub-group function for ASTWG Charter

• Idea generation, benchmarking, best practices, lessons learned, communications, interdependencies, leveraging, etc.

Define sub-group goals and objectives Meeting logistics

Keep sub-group minutes

24

Sub-Group Break-Out Sessions

Report back to general ASTWG tomorrow morning (15 minutes per sub-group)

Co-leads

• NASA/KSC & Non-NASA/KSC Function/description of activities Issues/concerns Interdependencies with other sub-groups Next meeting Etc.
