## ASTWG Charter Team

**Solicited volunteers at Kick-Off meeting to form Charter Development Team**
**Team consisted of approx. 2 dozen members from NASA, industry, academia, States, etc.**
**Met via telecon in August/September**
**Initially modeled after Range Commanders Council Operations & Policy document**
**Draft Charter distributed along with ASTWG 2 meeting announcement materials**
**No comments received!**

## ASTWG Charter - Vision

**VISION STATEMENT:**
**As aerospace leaders from government, industry and academia, we will promote the development of Advanced Spaceports that will facilitate the safe, cost-effective and successful operation of existing and future generations of space transportation systems to serve America’s space access needs into the future.**** **

## ASTWG Charter - Mission

**The development of Advanced Spaceport Technologies is essential to enable the safer, lower-cost access to space that will make future spaceports technically and economically viable.  In support of this goal, the ASTWG group will:**
**Provide a forum for federal and state government agencies, industry, and academia to work together to develop a national vision for spaceport development;**
**Provide a mechanism for the identification, prioritization, and recommendation of spaceport technologies to develop;**
**In addition to technology development, envisioning of multiple enabling activities such as master planning, business development, education/outreach that would be important to the successful development of a commercial spaceport;**

## ASTWG Charter – Mission (cont.)

**Develop an understanding of federal and state policies and regulations that impact spaceport development and influence the establishment or revisions of these policies; and,**
**Promote awareness of current and planned initiatives in the stakeholder community to foster collaboration, identify business and technology gaps, and minimize unnecessary duplication of development effort**** **

## ASTWG Charter - Goals

**The primary goals of ASTWG are:**
**Increase future market opportunities by lowering the cost of access to space**
**Concurrently develop Spaceport technologies with vehicle development**
**A synergistic approach to reducing operations costs**
**Improve the safety and reliability associated with space access operations**
**Respond to space access community needs and requirements**
**Leveraging of available Spaceport development resources nationwide**
**Become a recognized source of Spaceport technology information**** **

## ASTWG Charter - Objectives

**The Advanced Spaceport Technology Working Group was organized to pursue and promote Spaceport development activities that will lead to a reduction in the overall cost of access to space.  The scope of the Advanced Spaceport Technology Working Group is to:**
**develop a national spaceport vision;**
**develop a national spaceport architecture that encompasses all current and future spaceports, planned and proposed launch vehicles, and the mission control systems necessary to conduct space flight from anywhere in the nation;**
**develop roadmaps, including near-, mid-, and far-term technology and enabling activities, to achievement of the future spaceport vision;**
**develop a prioritized list of recommended spaceport technologies for development and testing;**

## ASTWG Charter – Objectives (cont.)

**develop a list of enabling activities that are important to the development of a commercial spaceport;**
**develop an inventory of current policies and regulations that impact spaceport development with recommendation for revisions necessitated by technology and business developments;**
**identify potential research opportunities for NASA Space Grant and EPSCoR organizations and other universities;**
**develop an inventory of current spaceport research, development, and implementation activities;**
**advance common Spaceport matters in an organized forum;**
**exchange information and foster cooperation among space access community;**
**promote and advocate the development of Spaceports on national, regional and local levels and communicate the ideas, recommendations and analyses arising from the preceding objectives.**
