NASA NEGOTIATES SIX, ONE-MONTH OPTIONS WITH UNITED SPACE ALLIANCE
HOUSTON -- NASA has incorporated six, one-month content adjustments
that provide options for continuation of services to support fly-out
of the space shuttle manifest beyond Thursday, March 31. If all

Contract with United Space Alliance (USA) of Houston is valued at
$436,480,084. NASA plans to exercise four, one-month options to
support the current shuttle manifest.
The contract covers work and support for mission design and planning;
software development and integration; astronaut and flight controller
training; system integration; flight operations; vehicle processing,
launch and recovery; vehicle sustaining engineering; flight crew
equipment processing; and space shuttle and International Space
Station-related support to the Constellation Program. The contract is
a cost reimbursement contract, with provisions for award and
performance fees.
Work in support of this contract is performed at USA's facilities in
Houston; Huntsville, Ala.; NASA's Kennedy Space Center, Fla.; major
subcontractor facilities in Huntington Beach, Calif.; Houston; and
Cape Canaveral, Fla. Significant subcontractors include Barrios

RELEASE: C11-017
NASA AWARDS SPACE SHUTTLE MAIN ENGINE CONTRACT MODIFICATION
HOUSTON -- NASA has signed a $36.9 million contract modification to
space shuttle main engine manufacturer Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne of
Canoga Park, Calif., to provide continued shuttle main engine
prelaunch and launch support from April 1 through July 31.
The contract modification also provides two additional options that if
exercised, would bring the potential contract amount for all six
months to $56 million.
This modification supports the flyout of the Space Shuttle Program and
brings the total potential value of the contract to $2.29 billion.
The original contract began on Jan. 1, 2002.
The majority of the work will take place at Pratt & Whitney
Rocketdyne's headquarters in Canoga Park.
Three main engines and two solid rocket boosters provide the thrust to
launch the space shuttle. At 14-feet long and seven-and-a-half feet
in diameter at the nozzle exit, the liquid propellant main engines
have a combined thrust of more than 1.2 million pounds.
