Here's my first article on all of this:http://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2014/09/dream-chaser-misses-out-cctcap-dragon-cst-100-win/Was a bit more edgy in draft with more source notes, but decided to straight shoot it in the end as this is about the award. We'll be doing more articles on this over time.
Here is a summary of my notes:-Support of the potential non-NASA market is important for the commercial crew program -Five milestones were required for CCtCap; the other ones were up to the provider. -NASA hopes to get what the President requested for commercial crew in order to be able to fund CCtCap. -On ramp clause exist which could allow new entrants. This clause could allow more competition down the road. -Up to the provider to decide if they adopt a rental vs taxi model. Each provide can disclose which model they selected but NASA isn't going to do that at this time. -Price of each contract includes the six potential post-certification missions. -Congratulated SNC for their hard work. He said that it was a pleasure to work with them and NASA looks forward to continue working with them on CCiCap and we will see after that (he was likely referring to an unfunded agreement).
