At the conference table at left are members of the commission: Dr. Edward F. Crawley, Ford professor of engineering at MIT; General (ret.) Lester L. Lyles, chair of the National Academies Committee on the Rationale and Goals of the U.S. Civil Space Program; and former astronaut Dr. Leroy Chiao, former International Space Station commander and engineering consultant. At the request of the Office of Science and Technology Policy, NASA established the Review of U.S. Human Space Flight Plans Committee, known as the Augustine Commission. Chaired by Norman R. Augustine, retired chairman and CEO of Lockheed Martin Corp., the committee is conducting an independent review of ongoing U.S. human spaceflight plans and programs, as well as alternatives, to ensure the nation is pursuing the best trajectory for the future of human space flight - one that is safe, innovative, affordable, and sustainable.
