F.OR: SBCRETARY OF DEFENSE

FROM: Linton Wells n; ~isll1~~[)----

-SUBJECT: NASA Administrator!a Office call with SBCDBF, Iune 27, 200S

• NASA's rationale for meeting request: NASA is conducting a fast-tum study to · detenmne heavy-lift launch needs for fbtme exj,lontion misaiom. To comply with the Praidcnt'a U.S. Space Tranqortatlon Policy, NASA must jointly submit a recommendation on these requirements with the Department of Defcnae. (NASA letter to 1he Secn,tary of Defense at Tab A; Relevant policy excerpts at Tab B)

• DoD's equitig: The DoD baa committed to the Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle (EEL V) fm tho foreseeable future and expends significant resources annually to maintain this system. A NASA commitment to BBL V use could result in coat savinp (8SIUIDml NASA agrees to share infiutructure coat) and a healthier industrial buc (Lockheed-Martin, Boeing). Preliminary atudics indicate that BEL V could likely meet NASA heavy-lift and human-rating requirements although further development js required (studies done by-Boeing & Lockheed-Martin, available on request).

• NASA's prism: Indications aro that NASA seeks to develop a Shuttle derivative launch system (rather than using BEI..V). Arguments for this approach are expected to be baaed on the need to human rate a system while moving forward quickly and the leveraging of existing NASA infiutructuR: & personnel.

• Tgc;t of Opportunity: Finally, thia meeting with the NASA Administrator provides an opportunity to diacuas classified topics related to comrnmricati.om and other DoD/NASA interfaces.

• Rcrt9JJJJD5i0dptjop: Commit to work with NASA to develop a joint package for the President OD future launch cptiODS.

Project Constellation

Vision for Space Exploration [VSE] On 14 January 2004, President Bush proposed a new vilion for apace exploration that includea human and robotic exploration of the Moon and Man. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA'•) 2005 budget allocates the majority of fundmg for the Moon/Mm initiative to two pmgrams: the Crew Exploration Vehicle (CBV), to be Uled to tnmapmt hUIDIDI to both the lntcmational Space Station and to lunar orbit; and Lunar Exploration, robotic explmadan of tho moon that includes the development and launch of hmar orbital aatellitea and landing rovers.

The President'• plan can be seen u having three distinct. but 1elated aapecta.

The fim aspect concerns cum:nt human space flight programs. The President proposes to complete COD81ructioa of the Intcmational Space Station (ISS) by the end of the decade and to retire the Space Shuttle at that point

The second aspect of the plan concerns new medium-term goals for human apace flight The central goal is to return to the Moon between 2015 and 2020. To do thia, NASA will develop a new Crew Exploration Vehicle (CBV), which will carry humans by 2014. The CBV may also be used to service the Space Station. The Marahall-bued Omital Space Plane and Next Ocncration Launch Technology pl'Ograml were canceled as a iault of the President's Vllion for Space Bxploration.

The third aspect of the plan concerna long-range goals for the ye&11 put 2020. The entire plan is geared toward pteplrlna for this period. but what will happen durlna thcae yean ii (ped,apa necenarily) left enti!cly open-ended. The ultimate goals are to send humans to Man and to increase the CODl1DEial exploitation of apace.

\

Named after the pattema that atm form in the night sky, ConsJmllatioo. Systems is n:sponaible for developing the Crew Bxp1oration Vehicle (CBV) and related e2ploration architcctuM syatema. Lib the Apollo Command Module, the CBV represents one building block in a future exploration 81dlitectme that can IClld utronaull to the Moon and form the basis for exploration millions to other dr.ldnationa. The Viaion for Space Exploration sets a goal of developing a new CEV by 2014 that is capable of carrying astronauts beyond low Earth mbit.ancl.a..goal. of .landing astrol1Bllta on the Moon no later than 2020. --

In parallel with development of the CBV. robotic explarcn will sc.rvc • trailblazera to mlucc Che risb and colts of future human operations at the Moon. With robotl, we will build mission operations cxpcricacc that can provide insight into the preparationa mquired for extmded human pRSCDCe to Man and other destinations in the Solar System.

Bued on studies conducted by the NASA Requirements Division, and driven by their results, the Din:ctorate's Constellation Systems Office will develop. dcmonattall,, and deploy IIIICCC&live generations of capabilities that will enable the United Stare& to acmm, the vision of BUltained human and mbodc exploration on the Moon and beyond. Technology and advanced ayatam dPelopment and dcmonlmdion activities will be undertaken to cstablilh cridcal capabilities that will be euential far all phases of llDllt' exploration.

The capabilitiea to be developed will farm a system-of-systcma that include:

• Robotic Pn,cunor Syate.ma • Caw Tnmportation • Cargo Tnnsportation • Surface S:,stam • In-Space Systems • Ormmd Systems • Humans u a Critical System

1be capabilities that compriac Constellation ·s)'ltems will evolve ow:r time. baaed on explonti.on goals. budsetat'Y priorities, and analyses of cost, benefitl, and' rislca. Thia evolution will take place in atap or " apirala" that will allow NASA grcar flexibility in meeting ita exploradoa objectives. Development will be supported by many organizatiom within and outside of NASA. Thia includes NASA Centers. industry, universitiea, other government agenciea, and international participants.·· - ·-· - ·---· · ·- -

The Conatcllation Systems Theme is responsible for developing. demonstrating. 1111d deploying aucceaaivc pnerationa of new capabilities to enable 1U1tainable and affordable human and robotic exploration of the Moon, Man, and beyond. Capabilities will be developed within wcll-deflned program spirals. The initial program spiral delivers a human Earth Orbit Capability by 2014. Thia includes a risk m:luction demonstration in 2008 and flight teats in 2011 without crew. Following program. spiral8 will deliver the capability to support human miaaions to the lunar surface no later than 2020 and then to Mm. Specifically, future Spirala are defined u follows: Spin] 2 It a Lunar Landing Capability; Spiral 3 is an Extended Lunar Stay Capability; Spiral 4 is a Man Landing Capability, with further 1pirala still to be defined.

1be capabilities that will support these spirals form a System of Systems that include crew transponation syatema, cargo transportation systems, in-space support systems. dr.a1inatioa (Moon. Mm) surface Systema, Earth ground systems, and human support aystems. The .Barth Orbit Capability {Spiral 1) Program within the Comtcllation Theme will manage the Crew Exploration Vehicle (CEV), the Crew Launch Vehicle (CL V), and 1uppmting ground and hHpace aupport ~yllemS projecll.

(U) Baeqround/11111es:

lRf~ Regional Strategic Issues

• Although the war in Colombia is going well, the strategic pictme for the region is rapidly darkening.

• During USDP Feith's recent visit to Bogot4, President Uribe was very pessimistic and spoke of virtually nothing but Chavez.

• MOD Uribe faces growing pressure ftom the Colombian congress to take measures to counterbalance the conventional threat from Venezuela.

•

• President Chavez bas vilified MOD Un'be for his strong comments on the regional "imbalance" being created by Venezuela's arms purchases.

• The ongoing revolution in Bolivia, which Cuba and Venezuela are aggressively co-opting, is of enormous concern to the Colombians.

• Bolivia has become a test of strength for the future direction of Latin America.

Introduction Colombia

-

Background: Colombia was one of the three countrie"a that emerged from the collapse of Gran Colombia in 1830 (the others are Ecuador and Venezuela). A 40-year insurgent campaign to overthrow the Colombian Government escalated during the 1990s, undergirded in part by funds from the drug ttade. Although the violence is deadly and large swaths of the countryside are under guerrilla influence, the movanent lacks tho military strength or popular support necessary to overthrow the government. An anti-insurgent army of paramilitaries has grown to several thousand strong in recent years, challenging the insurgents for cootrol of territory and the drug trade, and also the government's ability to exert its dominion over rural areas. While Bogota steps up efforts to reassert government control throughout the country, neighboring countries WOII}' about the violence spilling over their borders.

Economy Colombia

Economy • Colombia's economy has been on a recovery trend during the past two overview: years despite a serious armed conflict. The eoonomy continues to

improve thanks to austere government budgets, focused efforts to reduce public debt levels, and an export-oriented arowth focus. Ongoing economic problems facing President URIBE range from reforming the pension syst.em to reducing high unemployment. New exploration is needed to offset declining oil production. On the positive side, several international financial institutions have praised the economic reforms introduced by URIBE, which include measures designed to reduce the public-sector deficit below 2.5% of GDP. The govemmcat's economic policy and democratic security strategy have engendered a growing sense of confidence in the economy. particularly within the business sector. Coffee prices have recovered from previous lows as the Colombian coffee industry pursues greater matket shares in developed countries such as the United States.
