Talk:Orbital Space Plane Program

message: I recall hearding about the OSP back in the mid 90's.  i recall it being cancelled long before the shuttle debacel and i don't think it was going to replace the space shuttle but to compliment it.  furthermore the OSP and the Emergency Rescue Vehicle have no relationship i could find.--aceslead 22:04, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

message: I support the recent article move, effecting a name change from Orbital Space Plane to Orbital Space Plane Program, because the sources do support that it was a multiple vehicle design concept program, not just a single human-carrying Orbital Space Plane as the article was previously implying.
Having said that, there is a need for some significant copyediting (in the lede, especially) and article expansion, to make the article reflect the entire program, rather than just the crew-carrying Orbital Space Plane as it (mostly) does today.  N2e (talk) 06:03, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article name change:  ''Orbital Space Plane'' to ''Orbital Space Plane Program'' 

message: *"NASA is designing an Orbital Space Plane (OSP) to take crews to and from ISS, with a $550 million request for FY2004, and a projected 5-year (FY2004-2008) cost of $3.7 billion, which NASA stresses is very preliminary. NASA accounts for OSP under the Space Launch Initiative(SLI) even though it is not a launch vehicle. In the wake of the Columbia accident, NASA wants to accelerate the OSP program so it is ready by 2008 instead of 2010. NASA estimates the cost to build the initial version of OSP at $11-13 billion; a total cost estimate is not available. In the FY2004 VA-HUD-IA appropriations bill (H.R. 2861), the House made no changes to the space station or OSP programs pending release of the report on the Columbia accident investigation (which was released on August 26, see CRS Report RS21606). The Senate Appropriations Committee (S. 1584, S. Rept 108-143) cut space station by $200 million; OSP funding was not changed." - CRS Issue Brief for Congress: Space Stations (Oct 6th, 2003)

:ARC has tons of info on OSP. Unfortunately most of it's behind a paywall, luckily many libraries can get copies of those documents for free if you use their interlibrary loan system.

message: It was just mentioned as of June 17, 2012 in this article after the X-37 OTV-2 landing as: Results from the X-37B will "aid in the design and development of NASA's Orbital Space Plane, designed to provide a crew rescue and crew transport capability to and from the International Space Station," NASA said in fact sheet.

replies: text: The program has been dead since 2004, it looks like they wrote their article using a very old fact sheet.--Craigboy (talk) 07:18, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
