Abstract
As requested GAO provided a list of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) active and planned scientific missions, 1980-2000. Included are missions with the following status: 1) launches prior to 1980, and those since 1980 that either ended after 1980 or are currently approved by NASA and remain active; and 2) planned launches that have been approved or proposed by NASA. This compilation covers the following four major scientific disciplines: (1) planetary and lunar, (2) earth sciences, (3) space physics, and (4) astrophysics. Appendixes II-V present this information, including mission names and acronyms, actual or anticipated launch dates, and the actual or expected end-of-mission dates, in tables and figures. As requested, we did not list other types of NASA missions in biology and life sciences, manufacturing sciences, and communication technology. (kr)
