NASA has revealed its first set of mission criteria for the Orbital Space Plane (OSP) - the series of space vehicle expected to replace the space shuttle from 2012. The new spacecraft's primary function will be to ferry crews to and from the International Space Station (ISS) and serve as a lifeboat if the station has to be evacuated. At present the ISS has a Soyuz spacecraft attached to it to transport the crew for emergencies. The safety of manned space missions has been in the spotlight following the loss of the space shuttle Columbia, which broke up on re-entry on 1 February killing its crew of seven. The US space agency has grounded its remaining three shuttles Atlantis, Endeavor and Discovery while an investigation is carried out.
