Goals: 1. Lead Human Exploration: Exploit the ISS as a cornerstone of human exploration :Enable the
commercialization of LEO; Extend human exploration beyond LEO2. Lead Internationally: Leverage ISS experience to lead international participation in human space
exploration; Guide development of Agency Global Exploration Roadmap; Champion international participation in development of exploration capabilities
3. Excel in Leadership and Management: Lead through innovative technical and business management practices; Lead by fully engaging the Human Spaceflight team
4. Expand Relevance to Life on Earth: Intertwine JSC in mutually beneficial partnerships for economic and societal impact; Inform, educate and engage all generations to advance human space exploration; Strategically communicate JSC’s relevance in terms meaningful to our stakeholders
Vision: JSC leads a global enterprise in human space exploration that is sustainable, affordable, and benefits all humankind.

International Space Station
• Centerpiece of human spaceflight thru 2020
• Premier International Scientific Laboratory
• 11 years continuous crew operation
• International partnership of 15 countries
• Crew of six, 200 people have worked aboard
• Length of a football field, size of 5 bedroom house
• 152 space walks, almost 1,000 hours
Commercial Access to Low Earth Orbit
Note: Representative images, vehicles are not to scale
• Commercial Orbital Transportation System (cargo) 2012 milestones:• Orbital demo mission to ISS• SpaceX cargo mission to ISS
• Commercial Crew Development • Anticipate that one or more commercial crew systems will be
available for transportation of astronauts to and from the ISS – by middle of this decade
Orion Spacecraft
• New flagship of future human space exploration
• Designed and managed at JSC along with life support, space suits, and astronaut training
• Upcoming milestones• 1Q 2012: Orion flight test vehicle ships
from MAF to KSC
• June 2012: Orion flight test vehicle initial power-up
• Oct. 2012: Orion flight test vehicle crew module/service module mating
• April 2013: Orion flight test vehicle launch abort system mating
• 1Q 2014: Exploration Flight Test -1
Technology and Advanced Exploration Systems
• Challenges must be solved before missions begin
• How will astronauts live in deep space?
• What systems are required?
• How reduce risk and cost?
• Numerous technology and AES projects underway to solve critical technical problems of deep space exploration
• Key areas:• Crew systems• Vehicle systems• Operations
JSC Recent Progress
• Operating International Space Station through at least 2020 – Premier National Laboratory and Commercial Space Destination
• Enabling Commercial Space with Expertise and Facilities– Leaning processes and facilities to provide competitive services
• JSC leading development of MPCV, Supporting SLS– MPCV value approximate $1.1B annually
• JSC Advanced Exploration Systems Development Work• Leading International Partners on Global Exploration Architecture• Expanding Partnerships Producing Mutual Benefits
– Spin-off NASA technology to Energy, Safety, Medical, Automotive, etc.
• Enhancing University Relationships– Integral Partners in Technology Development
• Developing Innovative Partnership Mechanisms– BAYTECH Established to Facilitate New Business Opportunities
– HTC Technology Acceleration Center at JSC
– Expanding relationship with Greater Huston Partnership
– Supporting new Regional Center of Innovation and Commercialization
