About this Item

Title

  • NASA : compliance with cost limits

Other Title

  • International Space Station and shuttle support cost limits : briefing to staff of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation and House Committee on Science, April 2, 2004
  • National Aeronautics and Space Administration : compliance with cost limits

Summary

  • Section 202 of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Authorization Act of 2000 (P.L. 106-391) requires that GAO verify NASA's accounting for amounts obligated against established limits for the space station and related space shuttle support. Under the act, obligations are limited to $25 billion for the space station and $17.7 billion for shuttle support. In the past, GAO reported that NASA was unable to provide detailed support for the amounts obligated against the limits. Thus, GAO could not verify the amounts NASA reported to Congress in its fiscal year 2002 through 2004 budget requests. NASA did not report obligations to date against the space station and shuttle cost limits as part of its fiscal year 2005 budget request. As a result, GAO has no basis for verifying NASA's charges against the limits.
