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

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.

Aero-Space Technology  The Office of Aero-Space Technology provides 
leadership and direction for programs that pioneer the identification, 
development, verification, and transfer of high-payoff aeronautics and 
space transportation technologies, and for facilitating the application 
and commercilization of these technologies. In addition, the Office is 
responsible for managing the Ames, Dryden Flight, Langley, and Glenn 
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,

[[Page 586]]

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 Brazil, Canada, Italy, Japan, 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 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 two 
assembly flights were sucessfully launched from facilities in Russia and 
the United States respectively. A new star is now on the horizon and 
construction will be completed in the next 4 to 5 years.

For further information, call 202-358-2015.

Space Science  The Office of Space Science conducts programs and 
research designed to understand the origin, evolution, and structure of 
the universe and the solar system. The Office also manages NASA's 
activities at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and maintains contacts with 
the Space Studies Board of the National Academy of Sciences and with 
other science advisory boards and committees.

For further information, call 202-358-1409.
