NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND 

SPACE ADMINISTRATION 

[Notice 09–040] 

Notice of Establishment of a NASA 

Advisory Committee, Pursuant to the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 

U.S.C. App. 

AGENCY: National Aeronautics and 

Space Administration. 

Explanation of Need: The 

Administrator of the National 

Aeronautics and Space Administration 

has determined that the establishment 

of a Review of U.S. Human Space Flight 

Plans Committee is necessary and in the 

public interest in connection with 

duties imposed upon NASA by law. 

This determination follows consultation 

with the Committee Management 

Secretariat, General Services 

Administration. 

Name of Committee: Review of U.S. 

Human Space Flight Plans Committee. 

Purpose and Objective: The 

Committee shall conduct an 

independent review of ongoing U.S. 

human space flight plans and programs, 

as well as alternatives, to ensure that the 

nation is pursuing the best trajectory for 

the future of human space flight—one 

that is safe, innovative, affordable, and 

sustainable. The Committee should aim 

to identify and characterize a range of 

options that spans the reasonable 

possibilities for continuation of U.S. 

human space flight activities beyond 

retirement of the Space Shuttle. The 

identification and characterization of 

these options should address the 

following objectives: (a) Expediting a 

new U.S. capability to support 

utilization of the International Space 

Station (ISS); (b) supporting missions to 

the Moon and other destinations beyond 

low Earth orbit (LEO); (c) stimulating 

commercial space flight capability; and 

(d) fitting within the current budget 

profile for NASA exploration activities. 

In addition to the objectives described 

above, the review should examine the 

appropriate amount of R&D and 

complementary robotic activities 

needed to make human space flight 

activities most productive and 

affordable over the long term, as well as 

appropriate opportunities for 

international collaboration. It should 

also evaluate what capabilities would be 

enabled by each of the potential 

architectures considered. It should 

evaluate options for extending 

International Space Station operations 

beyond 2016. The Committee shall 

conduct meetings as appropriate at 

various locations throughout the United 

States. The Committee will provide 

advice only and will comply fully with 

the provisions of the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act (FACA). 

Lack of Duplication of Resources: The 

Committee’s functions cannot be 

performed by the Agency, another 

existing committee, or other means such 

as a public meeting. 

Fairly Balanced Membership: The 

Committee will consist of independent 

experts from academia, industry, 

nonprofit organizations as well as 

private citizens. Total membership will 

reflect a fairly balanced view. In 

addition, subcommittees, task forces 

and/or work groups may be established 

by NASA to conduct studies and/or factfinding requiring an effort of limited 

duration. Such subcommittees, task 

forces and work groups will report their 

findings and recommendations directly 

to the Committee. 

Duration: The Committee will exist 

for 180 days, unless earlier renewed. 

Responsible NASA Official: Mr. 

Philip McAlister, Office of Program 

Analysis and Evaluation, NASA 

Headquarters, 300 E Street, SW., 

Washington, DC 20546, (202) 358–0712. 

Dated: May 12, 2009.
