Your Reply: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	[QUOTE]Originally posted by Robert Pearlman: [B]The FY2013 budget provides funding for a service module at the same funding levels as the FY2012 budget. The European Space Agency was first to propose use of its Automated Transfer Vehicle as a service module for a U.S. built crew exploration vehicle and NASA is assessing that option but has made no decisions. Project management for the service module is assigned to Johnson Space Center with support from Ames, Glenn and Langley research centers. From the FY2013 budget summary: <BLOCKQUOTE>[i]The service module supports the crew module from launch through separation prior to reentry. It provides in-space propulsion capability for orbital transfer, attitude control, and high altitude ascent aborts. When mated with the crew module, it provides the water, oxygen and nitrogen needed for a habitable environment; generates and stores electrical power while on-orbit; and maintains the temperature of the vehicle's systems and components. This module can also transport unpressurized cargo and scientific payloads.[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE> [/B][/QUOTE]
