Findings

Based on current requirements, the cargo vehicle flight rate after Shuttle retirement does not meet the projected re-supply and return needs of ISS

- Requirements are being reviewed on a continual basis

Exploration requirements are scheduled to be defined in the Spring of 2005
When released, impact to manifest will be evaluated

Requirement reductions alone will not eliminate the transportation shortfall; additional transportation capabilities will be required

Summary

With retirement of the Shuttle, the ISS faces a transportation shortfall based on current requirements

The ISS Program should continue to pursue cost effective means to reduce the maintenance/logistics requirements for ISS
Science requirements for the ISS are being evaluated based on the Vision for Space Exploration and the restricted transportation capabilities

The ISS Program should continue to pursue alternate means to deliver cargo to and from the ISS

Incorporating all reasonable projections of reductions of transportation requirements still leaves a shortfall

Exploration systems should pursue the use of the ISS as an engineering/science test bed to develop and prove the systems and crew health measures required for exploration beyond low Earth orbit
