House of Representatives, One Hundred Fourth Congress, First Session; November 8, 1995 Let me begin first by apologizing to our witnesses and to those of you in attendance in the audience for any inconvenience caused by the rescheduling of our hearing this morning. At the last mo ment, a meeting of the Republican Members of the House was scheduled at to discuss a vote on a possible commitment of American troops to peacekeeping in Bosnia. So we thought that we ought to be sensitive to that. That's a very important decision that's going to affect a lot of people, and we decided to postpone the meeting so some of us, at least, could be in attendance at that conference for a period of time. Let me talk a little bit about today's hearing, nasa Purchasing in the earth-space Economy. That will mean different things to different people. To some people, this is an opportunity for small space technology firms to complain about how nasa policies have edged them out of realizing their vision to commercialize a space project. For others, this is an opportunity for Congress to contemplate what policies should govern the transactions between Earth-based businesses and the International Space Station.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Examines organizational and procurement issues surrounding NASA-DOD cooperation for a specific case study--DOD use of NASA standard spacecraft. Space shuttle operation, as the U.S. standard launch vehicle for both NASA and DOD payloads, refocuses attention on NASA-DOD cooperation. Use of standard spacecraft designs offers reduced operational costs, but intensifies the difficulty of determining agency needs and responsibilities while retaining mission responsiveness. A modified system-impact-assessment approach compares total costs of alternative procurement options and applies both sensitivity and a fortiori analyses to manage uncertainty. Principal conclusions are: use of a new standard spacecraft design, rather than any original NASA or DOD designs, provides the basis for minimizing the cost of the Air Force Test Program; factors essential to NASA-DOD cooperation are a common subset of missions, a common organization responsibility, and an extensive period of time to develop the organizational mechanics; and the successful NASA-DOD cooperation model is not easily transferred to other situations.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Space applications are becoming an increasingly important part of everyday life, with activities such as weather forecasting, air traffic control, disaster management, global communications and broadcasting dependent on the use of satellite technology. The space industry itself is relatively small compared to other manufacturing sectors, but its technological dynamism and strategic significance mean that it plays an ever more critical role in modern society. However it also figures among the sectors which are the least developed in terms of robust, internationally comparable statistics and data. This publication seeks to rectify this situation by assembling information about the space industry from a wide range of official and non-official sources.
