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

    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

    [[Page 590]]

    [GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] T177653.049

    [[Page 591]]

    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.

    Earth Science Enterprise  The Office of Earth Science (OES) manages
    NASA's Earth Science Enterprise. The goal of the Earth Science
    Enterprise is to understand the effects of natural and human-induced
    changes on the global environment. The unique vantage point of space
    provides information about Earth's land, atmosphere, ice, oceans, and
    life that could not be gathered in any other way. Data returned by
    satellites, expanded by data from aircraft, balloons, and ground-based
    platforms, give public and private resource managers the scientific
    understanding they need to craft sound environmental policies and make
    informed economic decisions for the future. 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 202-358-2165.

    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, and
    spectrum management, 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; develops and implements necessary policy with other government
    and commercial users of the space shuttle; and coordinates all
    associated research.
        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 10
    European nations represented by the European Space Agency. The space
    station will be a permanent outpost in space where humans will live and
