NASA Commercial Crew Program Crew Transportation System Certificate of Flight Readiness Plan

NASA Commercial Crew Program (CCP) Crew Transportation System (CTS) Certification of Flight Readiness (CoFR) is the authorization granted by the Agency that certifies the flight readiness of a Commercial Provider’s CTS to conduct a flight test or mission to transport NASA Crew to and from the ISS. The Commercial Provider is responsible for developing and executing its plan for certifying the flight readiness of its CTS. The CCP with the International Space Station (ISS) Program must substantiate the Commercial Provider’s CoFR assertion to ensure compliance with NASA requirements and NASA Crew safety.

NASA CCP CTS CoFR is the approval of the Commercial Provider’s evidence that:

• The physical as-built CTS was produced, assembled, integrated, and tested within the approved production and operational constraints.
• The mission specific requirements are enveloped within the certified CTS capabilities.
• The CTS personnel are trained and certified to support the mission.
• All aspects of the CTS are ready for the mission.
