The document discusses the roles and implementation plan of the Constellation Space Transportation Planning Office (CSTP). It outlines that NASA engineers will lead design, development, testing and evaluation of Ares and Orion hardware as well as ground systems. The CSTP will establish key personnel, engage with Constellation projects, define processes, and work on production contracts. The implementation plan shows activities from FY2009 to FY2012 such as establishing project offices, assigning managers, and defining production structure.
