Those initiatives focused on maturing designs of elements of a crewtransportation system (CTS).NASA intends to begin a new initiative, the Commercial Crew integrated Capability(CCiCap), to facilitate industrys development of an integrated CTS. This activity isexpected to result in significant maturation of commercial CTS. Facilitatingdevelopment of this U.S. capability is expected to provide national economic benefit andsupport safe, reliable, and cost effective transportation to Low-Earth Orbit (LEO). NASA intends to solicit proposals from U.S. space industry participants to mature thedesign and development of an integrated CTS which includes spacecraft, launch vehicle,ground and mission systems.
