  3. Expendable Vehicle Launch Launch Services Program Enables access to space Provides oversight of launch operations, countdown management, quality and mission assurance

  4. Human Exploration Space Launch System Heavy Lift Launch Vehicle Design derived from legacy hardware Capability to lift the Orion spacecraft for exploration Multi Purpose Crew Vehicle Will enable exploration beyond earth orbit Capable of conducting regular in-space operations

  5. Commercial Space Launch/Service Providers Entrepreneurial space activities Commercial crew and cargo services for NASA Suborbital spaceflight for STEM, research, and tourism Access to International Space Station and other platforms Commercial Space industry SpaceX Blue Origin Boeing Sierra Nevada

  6. 21st Century Ground Systems Program Multi-User Launch Complex Clean Floor Processing Horizontal Launch & Landing Small Vehicle Launch Capability Multi-Use Integration Flexible Launch Capability Heavy Class Launch Capability

  7. Center planning and development • Office formed in 2008 and reorganized in 2010 • Engaging stakeholders and industry to craft a Future Development Concept that will guide KSC’s transformation and growth as a multiuser spaceport • KSC’s “Front Door” to engage new business focusing on: • Master Plan for KSC infrastructure, land use, and real estate strategies • Commercial space transportation and services • Retention of highly skilled aerospace workers and facility assets

  8. Repurposing space shuttle facilities

  9. Enabling access to and utilization ofthe international space station

  10. Exploration park Under development by Space Florida in partnership with NASA, KSC’s new research and technology park will offer a unique collaborative environment

  11. KSC Visitor Complex Embarking on 10-year master plan to recreate the visitor experience.  Several large projects are envisioned including a new entry thru the rocket garden, the Atlantis Home, renovation of the LC39 Observation Gantry tour stop, and a future museum at main complex to relocate the Astronaut Hall of Fame Museum elements. Atlantis Home – Summer 2013 Delaware North has selected PGAV Destinations for the design and creative elements and Whiting Turner for the construction

  13. KSC Central Campus Project Center-piece of a multi-phase project to modernize and consolidate administrative and laboratory facilities. Envisioned as ultimately involving between $200-300 million in redevelopment funding over time. Older and obsolete buildings will be replaced with consolidated, more efficient facilities. NASA procurement activity to initiate design-build of first phase expected in spring, 2012.

  14. The Future • Our Vision: to be the world’s preeminent launch complex for government and commercial space access • Enable and lead the future of space exploration and growing space economy • KSC’s unique facilities and highly skilled workforce will support the space community, making space less costly and more routine
