ABOUT THE DESIGN:    ABOUT THE MODEL:
The t/Space Crew Transfer Vehicle (CXV) is an innovative spacecraft capable of carrying four crew to the International Space Station or other low Earth orbit destinations for less than $20 million per flight. Based on the Discoverer and Corona capsules, the CXV utilizes a proven re-entry design to maximize safety and survivability of the crew.

The CXV is launched into space on a two-stage booster released from a carrier aircraft, which enhances safety, performance, and flexibility. Preliminary design of the CXV and launch system is under way as part of t/Space's "Concept Exploration and Refinement" contract with NASA.

An uncrewed demonstration flight is planned for summer 2008, with a crewed flight in Summer 2009 -- eliminating the gap between the retirement of the Space Shuttle in 2010 and the initial flight of the new Crew Exploration Vehicle (CEV).
