This book was released on 1981 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Space Transportation System has been delayed 3-1/2 years and the cost of Defense participation in the program has increased $1.6 billion--from about $1.2 billion in fiscal year 1978 to about $2.8 billion in fiscal year 1982. To date, the delays have not resulted in any known operational degradation in Defense space capabilities . Continuing uncertainties, however, may further delay Defense's use of the full capabilities offered by the System, increase costs, or degrade future defense operational capabilities in space. The Secretary of Defense and the Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration should inform the Congress of the options being considered for maintaining an assured launch capability for defense and civil missions and the key assumptions, costs, and risks associated with each option. The Secretary of Defense should also provide the Congress information on the total cost of Defense participation in the Space Transportation System program.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study assesses the potential impact of DOD participation in the Space Shuttle Program upon future military space operations. Five key issues affecting DOD future Shuttle operations are: (1) Inadequate management interface between DOD/NASA; (2) DOD/USAF political considerations in the Shuttle support; (3) Inadequate USAF funding during early states of the program; (4) Inadequate integrated logistics support; and (5) Mission applications and payload integration problems. Each of these areas is discussed in detail in the report. The author concludes that lack of DOD commitment to the Shuttle Program, in which DOD is a major user, may cause DOD to be severely limited in its potential application of the system in the next decade.

This book was released on 1983 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Space shuttle's emergence as the single launch system for all U.S. Spacecraft, civilian and military, has required increased NASA participation in military space operations. Separate civilian and military space programs have been the topic of substantial debate within NASA, DOD, and the Congress in recent years. The debate has focused on the economies of a joint NASA/DOD space program and the effect that joining the civilian and military space programs will have on the missions of each agency. Advocates of increased cooperation between NASA and DOD argue that this arrangement is economical and efficient. Opponents object to mixing different agency missions and objectives. This report discusses issues related to joint NASA/DOD space activities and makes recommendations to address these issues. (Author).

This book was released on 2013-06 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) is an independent agency that works for Congress. The GAO watches over Congress, and investigates how the federal government spends taxpayers dollars. The Comptroller General of the United States is the leader of the GAO, and is appointed to a 15-year term by the U.S. President. The GAO wants to support Congress, while at the same time doing right by the citizens of the United States. They audit, investigate, perform analyses, issue legal decisions and report anything that the government is doing. This is one of their reports.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this real life spy saga, James E. David reveals the extensive and largely hidden interactions between NASA and U.S. defense and intelligence departments. The story begins with the establishment of NASA in 1958 and follows the agency through its growth, not only in scope but also in complexity. In Spies and Shuttles, David digs through newly declassified documents to ultimately reveal how NASA became a strange bedfellow to the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). He tracks NASA’s early cooperation—supplying cover stories for covert missions, analyzing the Soviet space program, providing weather and other scientific data from its satellites, and monitoring missile tests—that eventually devolved into NASA’s reliance on DoD for political and financial support for the Shuttle. David also examines the restrictions imposed on such activities as photographing the Earth from space and the intrusive review mechanisms to ensure compliance. The ties between NASA and the intelligence community have historically remained unexplored, and David’s riveting book is the first to investigate the twists and turns of this labyrinthine relationship.

Download or read book Implications of Joint NASA written by United States. General Accounting Office and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided its assessment of joint National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and Department of Defense (DOD) participation in space shuttle operations and Air Force activities concerned with developing and acquiring a dedicated DOD shuttle operations control facility. GAO found that, with the advent of the space shuttle, a trend has developed toward increasingly integrated NASA/DOD space operations. However, this relationship is complicated by the agencies' differing missions and objectives. This is particularly true with respect to DOD requirements for classified operations. A large portion of the cost burden for many military shuttle requirements is being borne by NASA, and extensive, long-term NASA support to DOD will be required for launch and landing operations, tracking and data acquisition services, and backup to DOD mission control systems. While NASA support to DOD is growing, the civilian program's future direction is not clear because the organization of future shuttle operations is undecided, and overall civilian space goals are still being defined. With the assistance of NASA, DOD is developing a shuttle operations and planning complex to be used solely for military missions. The complex would be equipped with the higher levels of security needed for such missions and would provide direct and exclusive military control of shuttle flight operations. However, GAO found that the development costs and system design options being considered for the complex could reduce the mission effectiveness of DOD.

Diamant and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study analyzes the use of the Space Shuttle Orbiter data processing subsystems in satisfying requirements for the integral astronaut participation in selected DoD space shuttle experiments. Key aspect of the study was the analysis, based on system implementation, to determine degrees of data protection from unauthorized use. Typical image processing and enhancing techniques versus display response time for astronaut interactions were assessed. The study concluded that a degree of data protection is achieved with the present orbiter avionics system by isolating one of the five general purpose computers with an out-of-sync procedure. Additional levels of data protection could be achieved only with additional hardware. (Author).
