Spacehab Lands Supply Contract For Space Station

When the Shuttle's finally gets launching again, NASA will need to transport huge amounts of new supplies to a threadbare station in need of water, air, fuel, spare parts and more people.

Houston - Nov 24, 2003
Spacehab said Thursday that the Company was awarded a new mission under its Research and Logistics Mission Support (ReALMS) contract with NASA for cargo services to the International Space Station (ISS).

A modification to the ReALMS contract has been signed, adding the use of Spacehab's Integrated Cargo Carrier (ICC) to the STS-121 space shuttle mission scheduled for launch in November 2004.

Additionally, the contract was amended to fund equitable adjustment payments through December 2003 for services being provided on ISS missions STS-116 (12A.1) and STS-118 (13A.1) due to space shuttle launch delays.

NASA has directed Lockheed Martin, the recent winner of the ISS Cargo Mission contract, to establish a contract with Spacehab for continued ICC and logistics module support beginning January 1, 2004. This allows the ReALMS contract to end on its expiration date without creating any lapse in service to the Government.

Spacehab is supporting the transition of the ISS Program Integration and Control function as a subcontractor to the ARES Corporation team. This effort utilizes Spacehab's core competency in configuration management services.

This five-year initiative is currently valued at approximately $22.0 million for the Company, and if exercised, two additional one-year contract options would increase the award by an additional $10.0 million.
