Griffin "Stanley Committee" Reassessing CEV
According to NASA Watch, NASA Administrator Griffin
has initiated a hand-picked "Exploration Systems
Architecture Study" team, headed by Dr. Douglas
Stanley, that will reassess the CEV program, including
how it might support ISS and how it might might be
accelerated. This "Stanley Committee" will also work
to define the requirements for "crew and cargo launch
systems" for lunar and Mars missions (probably laying
the groundwork for supporting shuttle derived launch).
Finally, it will define a reference lunar exploration
architecture to support sustained human and robotic
missions.
