NASA EXTENDS INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION CONTRACT

HOUSTON -- NASA has awarded a two-year, $650 million contract

The action extends the U.S. On-Orbit Segment Acceptance and Vehicle
Sustaining Engineering contract, awarded in January 1995. Work under
the contract extension will include completion of delivery and
on-orbit acceptance of the U.S. segment of the station, sustaining
engineering of station hardware and software, support of U.S.
hardware and software provided to international partners and
participants in the station program, and end-to-end subsystem
management for the majority of station systems.

The work will be performed at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston,
Kennedy Space Center in Florida, Marshall Space Flight Center in
Huntsville, Ala., and at other domestic and international locations.
