NASA, SPACEX TO COLLABORATE ON STRATEGIES FOR SPACEFLIGHT SYSTEMS

NASA and California-based Space Exploration Technologies Corporation
(SpaceX) have signed a two-year agreement to research strategies for future
human spaceflight systems for exploration missions and commercial space
access.

The Space Act Agreement is part of NASA's collaboration with private
industry to seek innovations in space flight that may one day lead the way
in expanding the frontiers of exploration. The results may benefit both
NASA's exploration activities and assist in developing new capabilities for
commercial access to space.

Through this partnership, NASA and SpaceX also may identify other technical
areas of collaboration that could leverage research and development
resources.
