The U.S. has spent almost $43 billion to develop, assemble, and
operate the International Space Station (ISS) over the past two
decades. The NASA Authorization Act of 2010 required NASA to enter
into a cooperative agreement with a not-for-profit entity to manage
the ISS National Laboratory and in 2011 did so with the Center for
the Advancement of Science in Space (CASIS). CASIS is charged with
maximising use of the ISS for scientific research by executing
several required activities. Recently, questions have arisen about
the progress being made to implement the required activities and
the impact it has had on ISS's return on the investment. This book
assesses the extent to which CASIS has implemented the required
management activities; and NASA and CASIS measure and assess
CASIS's performance. Furthermore, this book assesses the extent to
which NASA has ensured essential spare parts are available and ISS
structures and hardware are sound for continued ISS utilisation
through 2020.
