Where We Started

What we’re known for worldwide

KSC’s Mission ♦ NASA Space Launch System (SLS)

5 to 7 flights over the next 20 years

♦ Commercial Crew Program One to two Commercial Providers to ISS

♦ Extended ISS Mission to 2024

♦ Support commercial space industry Per NASA 2010 Authorization Act Leasing of assets

♦ Launch Services Program Payloads to earth orbit and beyond

KSC’s Master Plan

♦ KSC Master Plans has been in work since 2010

♦ The first product was the Future Development Concept (FDC)♦ KSC was first Center to develop an FDC and get approval♦ Provides the basis for the Plan you will see today

♦ This KSC Master Plan provides the tools and analyses to support future decisions regarding development and asset utilization Planning Background Existing Conditions Future Development

KSC Master Plan Core Strategies

Improve operational, fiscal and environmental sustainability

Ensure that the Space Launch System (SLS), Orion, Commercial Crew Program (CCP), International Space Station (ISS), and Launch Services Provider (LSP) activities are fully operational and have fully capable facilities, assets, and resources.

Support NASA Mission and

Program

Divest without Diminishing

Divesting of assets without eliminating capability to serve both critical government missions and programs while encouraging the growth of commercial space transportation market needs.

Evolution to a Multi-User Spaceport

Move from a monolithic NASA program field installation to a Multi-User Spaceport of Federal property

Move from a monolithic NASA program field installation to a Multi-User Spaceport of Federal property

Leaner and Greener

Improve operational, fiscal and environmental sustainability.

KSC Transformation via Assets Partnering

♦ Asset partnership agreements in place: Focus has been to provide major assets to

industry:• Space Florida at OPF3• Craig Technologies at NSLD• United Paradyne at HMF• PaR Systems at Hangar N

♦ Partnerships in Negotiation Shuttle Landing Facility (SLF) Launch Complex 39A

♦ Current focus for future is

on other assets: Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) Mobile Launcher Platforms (MLP’s) Minor Facilities Land
