SPACEHAB WINS NASA CONTRACT
A $42.86 million, two and one-half year contract has been
awarded to SPACEHAB, Inc., Vienna, VA, by NASA's Lyndon B. Johnson
Space Center, Houston.
SPACEHAB will perform research and logistics mission support
in the NASA Payload Processing Facility at Cape Canaveral, FL.
The total awarded price of the contract, inclusive of all options,
is $60.72 million and is anticipated to extend for approximately
three years.
The basic contract is for the lease of the SPACEHAB modules,
and for integration and operations services supporting the Space
Shuttle program for three missions. The contract also covers four
options involving varying module types to be leased for an
additional mission. It is a follow-on contract to the SPACEHAB
Phase One contract, which involves services in support of the
Shuttle/Mir program. The new contract will provide logistical
support to the International Space Station, and both NASA and
commercial science experiments.
