Space Station: Cost Control Problems Continue to Worsen

Report Date June 18, 1997
Report No. T-NSIAD-97-177
Subject
Summary:

The space station's vulnerability to cost overruns and schedule delays has increased since GAO issued its report last year on space station costs. (See GAO/NSIAD-96-135, July 1996.) Russia's inability to meet its financial responsibilities to the proposed international space station has led to serious schedule delays, cost overruns, and dwindling financial reserves. The launch of a service module to provide the space station with power, control, and habitation capability is now estimated to be delayed by eight months. Since April 1996, cost overruns on the prime contract have more than tripled to $291 million, and the estimated cost to get the contract back on schedule has increased by nearly 50 percent to $129 million. Further cost and schedule problems could occur if the Russian government remains unable to fulfill its commitment to the space station. If these problems continue, GAO believes that a congressional review of the entire program is warranted.
