The NASP Program has made substantial technical progress and undergone significant change since the last report to the Society in 1987. This paper will focus on the technical progress that has been made in the areas of propulsion, materials, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) validation, and overall design of the X-30. The impact that the flight test community has had on the approach to the development and test of the X-30 will also be included. A short discussion of the transition to a new management and program execution process through use of a National Contractor Team will also be presented along with the new revised schedule for the overall program.
