NASA EXTENDS CONTRACT FOR MISSION, CREW OPERATIONS SUPPORT

WASHINGTON -- NASA has awarded a contract extension to United Space
Alliance of Houston to provide mission and flight crew operations
support for the International Space Station and future human space
exploration.

The $17.4 million extension of the Integrated Mission Operations
Contract covers ground-based human spaceflight operations capability
development and execution. This contract includes support for mission
planning and preparation, crew and flight controller training, and
real-time mission execution.

The initial period of extension runs from Oct. 1, 2012 through Sept.
30, 2013. There is a $17.8 million option to extend the contract for
another year effective from Oct. 1, 2013, through Sept. 30, 2014.

The total potential value of the cost-plus-award-fee contract would be
$35 million, if the option is exercised. This contract extends the
original contract, which was in effect from November 2008 through
September 2012.
