- Abstract
In response to the NASA Commercial Orbital Transportation Services (COTS) program, Andrews Space, Inc. has proposed the Olympus Space Utility Vehicle (SUV). The Olympus SUV is a reusable spacecraft capable of transporting unpressurized cargo, pressurized cargo, and crew – all during the same mission - to and from the ISS and other orbital destinations. This paper outlines the Olympus vehicle configuration, and the development approach to demonstrate critical technologies and compliance with ISS safety and NASA human rating requirements by 2010 with initial operating capability (IOC) by 2012.
