3.2. SPACE STATION OFFICE FORMS OPERATIONS TASK FORCEi2’
Associate Administrator for the Office of Space Station, Andrew J. Stofan, announced today the formation of an operations task force to review options and recommend concepts for managing and conducting operations aboard the permanently manned Space Station. Carl B. Shelley, manager of the Customer Integration Office, Johnson Space Center, Houston, Texas, and Dr. Peter T. Lyman, assistant laboratory director, Office of Telecommunications and Data Acquisition, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., will serve as co-chairmen of the operations task force. “The Space Station will consist of both unmanned platforms and a manned base”, Stofan said. “With Shelley and Lyman as co-chairmen of the task force, we can capitalize on their vast knowledge of manned and unmanned spaceflight operations from long careers working at the NASA centres that are pre-eminent in the two modes of spaceflight: At President Reagan’s direction, NASA is developing a Space Station which will serve as a permanent facility in space for the conduct of scientific, space agencies are technology and commercial activities. International currently participating in the preliminary design of the Station and may contribute elements to it as well. The focus of the task force will be to explore alternative approaches to operating and managing the deployed Space Station, which must integrate a diverse set of US and international hardware elements and accommodate a wide range of manned and unmanned user activities, and to recommend an effective concept for operating the system. The task force will report its results and recommendations for operations planning and implementation to the Associate Administrator for Space Station. About 25 people will serve on the task force full-time. Additional people will serve part-time as consultants or in other special capacities. Members will represent NASA centres, the private sector, the academic community and other governmental agencies with experience and interest in space operations. NASA has invited the international partners to contribute to the US task force activities on any similar operational assessments conducted in parallel. The task force will begin its work in the next few weeks and is expected to remain active for approximately 4 to 6 months. The task force will conduct its work in Washington, D.C.
