    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

    Aerospace Technology  The Office of Aerospace 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

    [[Page 446]]

    [[Page 447]]

    managing the Ames, Dryden Flight, Langley, and Glenn Research Centers.

    For further information, call 202-358-2693.

    Biological and Physical Research  The Office of Biological and Physical
    Research conducts programs concerned with biological sciences, physical
    sciences and applications, aerospace medicine, 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, 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  The Office of Earth Science manages NASA's Earth science
    enterprise. The mission of enterprise is to develop a scientific
    understanding of the Earth system and its response to natural and human-
    induced changes, in order to improve prediction of climate, weather, and
    natural hazards.

    For further information, call 202-358-2165.

    Space Flight  The Office of Space Flight is responsible for NASA's human
    space flight programs, including the space shuttle, international space
    station, payload carrier, and future human exploration and development
    of space projects. The Office is also responsible for managing the
    expendable launch vehicles and space communications for both human and
    robotic missions, as well as other related space flight activities. 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.
        NASA is leading an international effort to construct and deploy a
    permanently inhabited space station in Earth orbit. Elements of the
    space station are 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 are launched aboard
    the space shuttle and assembled in orbit. The first eight assembly
    flights were successfully launched from facilities in Russia and the
    United States respectively, and a crew of three have been living aboard
    the outpost since November 2000. A new star is now on the horizon, and
    construction will be completed in the next few years.

    For further information, call 202-358-2015.

    Space Science  The Office of Space Science conducts flight 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.
