1998年3月12日 · The X-38 project began in 1995 at the Johnson Space Center (JSC) in Houston, Texas at the direction of the NASA administrator. From the beginning, the project has had the CRY design validation as its ultimate goal. The CRY has three basic missions that drive the design that must be proven during the course of the X-38 Project:

X-38 Project Summary: One of the significant challenges in the realization of the manned international space station is the development of a crew return vehicle. This requirement, commonly known as the X-38, would serve as both an ambulance for medical emergencies and as an evacuation vehicle.

The X-38 Project consists of a series of experimental vehicles designed to provide the technical "blueprint" for the International Space Station's (ISS) Crew Return Vehicle (CRV). There are three atmospheric vehicles and one space flight vehicle in the program.
