Future development
7. Program Management Approach Maintain a Lunar focus – we’re building a system for sending crew and cargo to the Moon and beyond
CEV/CLV must remain in ‘context’ with architecture
Remain aggressive – challenge the team to do more sooner
Use the architectural ‘leverage’ that shuttle-derived affords us – external (e.g. shuttle) and internal (CLV/CaLV) synergies, efficiencies
8. Program Management Approach Foster an agency-wide focus – use talent all the centers have to offer
“Requirements-based” organization structure
Synergize with Station and Shuttle Programs
Shared Contracting Where Appropriate
Shared Workforce and Facilities Where Possible
Work Smooth Transition from System Development to Operations
