C3PO
Commercial Crew & Cargo Program
The C3PO will extend human presence in space by enabling an expanding and robust U.S. commercial space transportation industry.
COTS
Commercial Orbital Transportation Services
C3PO is responsible for managing NASA's Commercial Orbital Transportation Services (COTS) projects.
CCDev
Commercial Crew Development
Commercial Crew Development is a NASA investment that will aid in the development and demonstration of safe, reliable, and cost-effective space transportation capabilities.
Commercial Transportation
The Commercial Spaceflight theme encompasses completion of commercial cargo capability milestones and will expand NASA's efforts to develop commercial crew capability to LEO and the ISS.
Commercial Crew Program
NASA’s Commercial Crew Program (CCP) is an innovative partnership to help the United States industry develop space transportation systems that can safely launch astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS) and other low Earth orbit destinations.
ISS
International Space Station Program (ISS)
A human outpost in space bringing nations together for the benefit of life on Earth and beyond.

Boeing, a leading aerospace company, is developing a Commercial Crew Vehicle which can be launched on a variety of launch vehicles. As part of a Space Act Agreement with NASA, Boeing will receive up to $18 million as part of the CCDev award to research and develop the system concepts and advance key technologies that are applicable to a capsule-based commercial crew transport system to the International Space Station. Boeing will develop the overall system definition and perform demonstration testing on life support, avionics, landing systems and other critical subsystems, primarily at sites in Texas, California and Nevada. By maturing the design and development of commercial crew spaceflight concepts and associated enabling technologies and capabilities, the CCDev program allows Boeing to move toward full demonstration of commercial human spaceflight to low Earth orbit in the near term. |
