Defense Space Activities: Organizational Changes Initiated, but Further Management Actions Needed
Abstract
In January 2001, the congressionally chartered Commission to Assess United States National Security Space Management and Organizationknown as the Space Commissionreported that the Department of Defense (DOD) lacked the senior level focus and accountability to provide guidance and oversight for national security space operations. Congress mandated that GAO provide an assessment of DODs actions to implement the Space Commissions recommendations. Thus, GAO (1) updated its June2002 assessment of DODs actions to address the Space Commissions recommendations, (2) ascertained progress in addressing other long term management concerns, and(3) assessed the extent to which DOD has developed a results oriented management framework for space activities.
