SPACE STATION: Status of Russian Involvement and Cost Control Efforts.

Abstract

Because of Russia's continuing funding problems, NASA developed a multi-faceted contingency plan to mitigate the risk of further delay of the Service Module and the possibility that a reboost capability cannot be provided by the Russians. Payments to Russia for the completion of the Service Module have also been made. Although NASA has developed a strategy to deal with Russian nonperformance, it has not completed an overall contingency plan to address a broader range of potential problems.
