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

    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.).

    Activities

    Aero-Space Technology  The Office of Aero-Space Technology provides
    technology 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 commercialization 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.

    Earth Science  The Office of Earth Science 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 453]]

    T186873.047

    [[Page 454]]

    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.

    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.

    Space Flight  The Office of Space Flight is responsible for NASA's human
    space flight program, including space shuttle, international space
    station, payload carrier, and future human exploration and development
    of space projects. The Office is responsible for managing the expendable
    launch vehicles and space communications for both manned and robotic
    missions, as well as other related space flight activities. It is also
    responsible for institutional management of the Kennedy Space Center,
    Marshall Space Flight Center, Johnson Space Flight Center, and the
    Stennis Space Center.
        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 successfully 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. This includes the development of new
    technologies to continually improve scientific capabilities and to
    transfer science and technology advances to the public and private
    sector to ensure U.S. scientific and technical leadership. 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.
