The document discusses the Constellation Program's (CxP) first "Season of Systems Requirements Reviews" (SRRs). The SRRs will focus on baselining operational concepts, requirements, and functional allocations for transportation systems to and from low Earth orbit and lunar orbit. This includes the Orion crew exploration vehicle, Ares launch vehicles, ground and mission operations, and extra-vehicular activity systems. The SRRs aim to complete system requirements descriptions and preliminary interface definitions to the extent possible. Future SRR seasons will address additional capabilities for a sustained human presence on the Moon.
3. Important First Step for CxP
A Bold Vision for Space Exploration,
Authorized by Congress
♦ Complete the International Space Station
♦ Safely fly the Space Shuttle until 2010
♦ Develop and fly the Crew Exploration Vehicle no

5. Systems Engineering Near-Term Focus
with Long-Term Objectives in Mind
• The scope of this initial CxP SRR and
“First Season of SRRs” covers the
architecture and engineering artifacts
associated with:
– Transportation to and from low
earth orbit
– Transportation to and from the
lunar orbit as it relates to “driving
early designs” of
CEV/CLV/GO/MO/EVA
• Also Refining Integrated Plan to
leverage off of LAT and Lander
Studies for performing Systems
Engineering in Disciplined Manner in
preparations of next Season of SRRs
