House Appropriations Committee Wants NASA To Reduce ISS Costs

The Roll Call (5/20, Kim, Subscription Publication, 76K) “TechnoCrat” blog reports that the House Appropriations Committee, in a report accompanying a proposed 2015 funding bill, said, “The Committee remains concerned that annual ISS operations costs are too high, particularly in light of NASA’s proposal to extend the life of the Station through 2024. In order for the Station to remain a sustainable long-term program, NASA must continue to seek and implement cost savings measures with the goal of reducing the ISS operations budget or, at a minimum, slowing the growth in such budget.”
