    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The National Aeronautics and Space Administration conducts research for
    the solution of problems of flight within and outside the Earth's
    atmosphere and develops, constructs, tests, and operates aeronautical
    and space vehicles. It conducts activities required for the exploration
    of space with manned and unmanned vehicles and arranges for the most
    effective utilization of the scientific and engineering resources of the
    United States with other nations engaged in aeronautical and space
    activities for peaceful purposes.

    The National Aeronautics and Space Administration was established by the
    National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2451
    et seq.).

    NASA Headquarters

    Planning, coordinating, and controlling Administration programs are
    vested in Headquarters. Directors of NASA centers are responsible for
    the execution of agency programs, largely through contracts with
    research, development, and manufacturing enterprises. A broad range of
    research and development activities are conducted in NASA Centers by
    Government-employed scientists, engineers, and technicians to evaluate
    new concepts and phenomena and to maintain the competence required to
    manage contracts with private enterprises.
        Planning, directing, and managing research and development programs
    are the responsibility of seven program offices, all of which report to
    and receive overall guidance and direction from the Administrator. The
    overall planning and direction of institutional operations at NASA
    Centers and management of agencywide institutional resources are the
    responsibility of the appropriate Institutional Associate Administrator
    under the overall guidance and direction of the Administrator.

    Aeronautics and Space Transportation Technology  The Office of
    Aeronautics and Space Transportation Technology conducts programs that
    pioneer the identification, development, verification, transfer,
    application, and commercialization of high-payoff aeronautics and space
    transportation technologies. The Office seeks to promote economic growth
    and security and to enhance U.S. competitiveness through safe, superior,
    and environmentally compatible U.S. civil and military aircraft, through
    a safe, efficient national aviation system, and through low-cost access
    to space. In addition, the Office is responsible for managing the Ames,
    Dryden Flight, Langley, and Lewis Research Centers.

    For further information, call 202-358-2693.

    Life and Microgravity Sciences and Applications  The Office of Life and
    Microgravity Sciences and Applications conducts programs concerned with
    life sciences, microgravity sciences and applications, aerospace
    medicine and occupational health programs, and space development and
    commercialization. The Office directs the planning, development,
    integration, and operations support for NASA missions which use the
    space shuttle, free flyers, international space station Mir, and other
    advanced carriers. The Office also establishes all requirements and
    standards for design, development, and operation of human space flight
    systems and facilities.

    For further information, call 202-358-0123.

    Mission to Planet Earth  The Office of Mission to Planet Earth conducts
    programs that study global climate change and integrated functioning of
    the Earth as a system. This includes developing and managing remote
    sensing satellites and instruments, aircraft

    [[Page 585]]

    [[Page 586]]

    and ground measurements and research, as well as data and information
    systems needed to support the objectives of the U.S. Global Change
    Research Program. The Office also has institutional management
    responsibility for the Goddard Space Flight Center and maintains contact
    with the National Academy of Sciences and other science advisory and
    coordinating boards and committees.

    For further information, call 202-358-1770.

    Space Flight  The Office of Space Flight (OSF) is NASA's principal
    organization for space flight operations and utilization involving human
    space flight. It consists of the following programmatic missions: flight
    to and from space for people and cargo, operating habitable space
    facilities, and managing the utilization of these facilities in support
    of NASA's space missions, such as space missions from and to Earth. The
    Office is responsible for the space shuttle, space communications,
    spectrum management, and the Spacelab and is currently leading
    development of the international space station. The Office is also
    responsible for institutional management of the Kennedy Space Center,
    Marshall Space Flight Center, Johnson Space Flight Center, and the
    Stennis Space Center.
        Through its centers, the Office plans, directs, and executes the
    development, acquisition, testing, and operation of all elements of the
    Space Shuttle Program; plans, directs, and manages execution of
    prelaunch, launch, flight landing, post-flight operations, and payload
    assignments; maintains and upgrades the design of ground and flight
    systems throughout the operational period; procures recurring system
    hardware; manages Spacelab development, procurement, and operations;
    develops and implements necessary policy with other government and
    commercial users of the space shuttle; and coordinates all associated
    research. The Office is working with the Russian Space Agency to plan
    and execute a series of joint missions that will involve flying
    cosmonauts aboard the space shuttle and astronauts aboard the Mir space
    station. In January 1997, the fifth of nine planned space shuttle
    missions to Mir and the second involving an exchange of U.S. astronauts
    was launched. Two more space shuttle/Mir docking missions are planned
    for 1997. The space shuttle/Mir docking missions are precursors to
    assembly and utilization of the international space station.
        NASA is leading an international effort to build and deploy a
    permanently manned space station into Earth's orbit. Elements of the
    space station will be provided by Canada, Japan, Italy, Russia, and 11
    European nations represented by the European Space Agency. The space
    station will be a permanent outpost in space where humans will live and
    work productively for extended periods of time. It will provide an
    advanced research laboratory to explore space and employ its resources,
    as well as the opportunity to learn to build, operate, and maintain
    systems in space. U.S. elements of the space station will be launched
    aboard the space shuttle and assembled in orbit. The first flight is
    currently scheduled for 1997.
