2/18/93:NASA BUDGET BOOSTS TECHNOLOGY/PROMISES IMPROVED SPACE STATION PROGRAM
Don Savage
Headquarters, Washington, D.C.
RELEASE: 93-32
The President's 1994 budget request for NASA will call for an increase
over last year's budget with key provisions for the Space Station program and
the development of important new technologies.
NASA Administrator Daniel S. Goldin praised the plan, saying, "It
clearly reflects the President's firm commitment to a meaningful and balanced
space program and the revitalization of American industry through cutting-edge
science and technology development."
President Clinton has directed the Administrator to redesign the Space
Station as part of a program that is more efficient and effective and capable
of producing greater returns on our investment. The '94 package provides $2.3
billion for the smooth transition of the program to a streamlined,
cost-effective design, assuring stability in the program during the transition
and minimizing any potential job loss.
The President also has directed NASA to work closely with the U.S.
Congress and international partners to maintain continuity in the program and
to assure their participation in producing a space station that is technically
challenging and promises the highest possible returns.
NASA's new technology investment package will provide significant
funding aimed at new projects that could lower the cost of space research,
achieve demonstrable results sooner and are more directly beneficial to the
economy. The new plan allows room in NASA's budget for future enhancements to
ongoing agency efforts in aeronautics, human and robotic space flight and the
transfer of technology to new and existing industries.
Goldin was briefed by White House officials late Wednesday and Thursday
morning and offered the following statement:
"I congratulate the President on his courageous vision of an
aeronautics and space program that is relevant to America and continues to lead
the world in innovation and discovery."
"In response to the vision, we will join with our international
partners, industry experts, and the science community to introduce broad,
innovative thinking to the process of delivering a meaningful and efficient
program to the American people and to the world."
"I have great faith and pride in the working women and men of the NASA
team who I know will step up to the challenge to do more with less, just as
they have met the great challenges of the past."
"NASA will serve the President's vision and live up to its reputation
as a can-do agency by becoming a model in government for quality, efficiency
and productivity."

KSC SHUTTLE STATUS REPORT 2/18/93
SPACE SHUTTLE WEEKLY STATUS SUMMARY
Thursday, February 18, 1993
George H. Diller
Kennedy Space Center
Vehicle: OV-102/Orbiter Columbia Mission: STS-55
Current location: Pad 39-A Orbital altitude: 184 sm
Payloads: Spacelab D-2/SAREX Inclination: 28.45 degrees
Launch timeframe: March wk 2 Nominal Landing: KSC
Mission Duration: 8 days 22 hours Crew size: 7
STS-55 IN WORK:
- establishing aft compartment access for turbopump securing
- inspection of main engine heat shields
- crew compartment cleaning
STS-55 WORK SCHEDULED:
- secure main engine liquid oxygen high pressure turbopumps starting on Friday
- install new orbiter refrigerator/freezer units next Tuesday
- install main engine heat shields starting later next week
STS-55 WORK COMPLETED:
- installation of new main engine liquid oxygen high pressure
turbopumps in aft main engine compartment
- turbopump inspections in VAB main engine maintenance facility
- troubleshooting main engine #2 hydraulic yaw actuator
NOTES:
Changeout work for Columbia's main engine liquid oxygen turbopumps is
running on schedule today. All three pumps removed from Columbia have now been
examined and, as was expected, the correct seal retainers had been installed.
The next phase of work, which is securing the new pumps to the engine power
heads, is scheduled to take six days.
