Direct 3 Update July 2009

Augustine Commission Update



Committee PresentationAfter a successful presentation on June 17th, the Direct team continues to provide information to the Augustine Commission as it conducts a full evaluation of our inline solution.

Despite the recent news of NASA's intent to fully develop a Shuttle-C alternative plan, we remain confident that DIRECT will be validated as the safest solution for continued manned space flights, sooner and within budget restrictions.

To stay up to date with commission news and activities go to the commission web site and follow them on Twitter or subscribe to their RSS feed.

We will keep you informed of any DIRECT related announcements and information regarding the commission as we receive them.
