NASA Thursday unveiled all-encompassing new programs, which have largely been designed to execute the Obama administration’s proposed reallocation for commercial manned rockets as well as the development of new technologies for facilitating deep space exploration.

During a Thursday teleconference, NASA administrator Charles Bolden and Deputy Administrator Lori Garver gave an overview of the new programs; and the finances that will be allocated for each of them, after due approval from Congress.

As per NASA’s plans, the Kennedy Space Center at Florida, the agency’s current shuttle homeport, will be transformed into a “21st Century Launch Complex” that would be responsible for overseeing the development of commercial space taxis that will fly astronauts to and from the International Space Station.

For the transformation of the Kennedy Space Center, NASA will undertake $1.9-billion expenditure, through 2015, to improve and modernize the launch infrastructure.

Meanwhile, at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, NASA intends establishing a flagship technology demonstration program office, responsible for flight tests of new technologies like autonomous rendezvous and docking, inflatable habitat modules, and in-orbit refueling. For the program, NASA will spend $424 million in fiscal 2011 and $6 billion over the next five years.

Furthermore, at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., NASA proposes a $3.1-billion spending, over the next five years, for heavy lift propulsion research and technology development for designing new rockets capable of lifting the large payloads required for deep space exploration.
