Finally, the large bubbles represent the synergistic summation of the individual elements of that period. Obviously, the dates shown have an uncertainty which increases with time, but the chronology is intended to be consistent. The ISP is chronologically portrayed in five year time intervals because this is a practical segment of time for planning and implementation of program objectives. Boxes with double lines are in-space transportation nodes. Boxes with bold outlines are either long-range (centerline) objectives or key “enabling programs” important because their development affects the development of many other programs. Double-arrowed lines between boxes are communication / data links.īold lines are trunk lines with numerous (2 or more) branches stemming from along their length. The Space Shuttle and Space Station are essential initial elements their value increases through the 1990’s as infrastructure evolves.Īrrowed lines between boxes depict evolutionary, supporting, or synergistic relationships. The centerline of the ISP is the critical path defined by National Space Policy which closely resembles the NASA Office of Exploration case study 4 scenario - Lunar Outpost To Early Mars Evolution. Reading across the columns from left to right will yield the total scope of required activity within a given time period in support of the total “integrated” plan. From top to bottom, vertical column elements are phased in chronologically to support centerline milestones. The ISP can be read from top to bottom or left to right. The ISP is not meant to be a definitive plan for the development of space, but rather a compilation of evolutionary opportunities for our near-term and long-range space activities. Included separately as attachments to the ISP.
These initiatives as well as the agenda described in the National Commision on Space report, are shown by shading the appropriate boxes involved. Special initiatives such as the four Pathfinder scenarios or those described in the Ride Report (i.e., Mission To Planet Earth, Exploration of the Solar System, Outpost on the Moon, and Humans to Mars) are integral parts of the ISP.
Its 100-plus-year vision was created from the integration of numerous NASA long-range studies including the project Pathfinder case studies, recommendations from the National Commission on Space’s report to the President, the Ride report to the NASA Administrator, and the new
Have we perhaps already visited them? Is it fake/legit or been doctored for public consumption?Īpparently, The Rockwell Integrated Space Plan (ISP) is a very long range systematic perspective of America’s and the Western World’s space program. This is an intriguing and complex diagram but makes for fascinating reading.Ī space exploration timeline until 2100 including 10 stars and their distance from earth.
