Constellation Services International, Inc. (CSI), an
entrepreneurial space company, today strongly endorsed the new human space
exploration initiative announced by President George W. Bush at NASA Headquarters in
Washington, D.C.

“NASA should lead a free humanity beyond the shallow waters of Earth orbit to
the Moon and eventually Mars and the asteroids,” said Charles E. Miller, the Chief
Executive Officer of CSI. “The key challenge is affordability – America’s private
sector can help the U.S. Government achieve this vision by providing low-cost
commercial transportation services.”

Among the detailed plans unveiled today are an early phase-out of the Space
Shuttle and focusing the ISS program on supporting exploration of the Moon and Mars.
Part of the plan to pay for the Moon-Mars program is to create savings from the Shuttle
and ISS programs.

“This increases the need for much less expensive ways to deliver cargo to the
International Space Station” said Thomas Moser, former NASA Space Station Program
Director and CSI’s VP for Programs.

“CSI has already invested significant private capital working with NASA to
develop our low-cost LEO ExpressSM Space Cargo Service. We are ready to step up and
help NASA and its international partners achieve their research goals at the Space
Station, and to help them affordably move into the solar system,” said Miller.
CSI was founded in 1998 as a commercial space services company and is
currently focused on space station resupply. CSI leads an industrial team that is currently
under contract to NASA’s Alternate Access to Station program to define evolutionary
capabilities of the LEO ExpressTM system, and successfully completed a NASA System
Design Review in July of 2003.

CSI has offices in Alexandria, VA, Los Angeles, CA, and Houston, TX.. For
