A NASA Johnson Space Center team of engineers has been organized to design a crew return vehicle for returning International Space Station crew members from orbit. A lifting body based on the X-23/X-24A configuration with Shuttle derived, guidance and control algorithms is providing a baseline for the re-entry phase of flight. A thermal protection system utilizing a number of materials is providing the capability for up to a 1300 km (700 nm) crossrange goal. A ram air inflated parafoil system is being incorporated to increase the landing performance characteristics.
