I ·- writing to request that NASA call upon the Natione1
Research Council (NRC) Connittee on ~`'ASA Program Reprices, to
examine the future implications and possible sceneries resulting
froa the tragic loss of Challenger.
Specifically, It is requested that the following information
be provided by the NRC:
1. An assessment of the possible fillet rate assuming ~ base
line of an 18-north delay In shuttle operations. The
analysts should be based on the assured flight rate and
manifest most recently promulgated by NASA.
2. An assessment of the assumptions made In the above flight
rate between payloads manifested on expendable launch
vehicles and payloads manifested on the shuttle -- and
whether such assumptions are reasonable.
3. An assessment of the inpect on both f light rate and
manifest of the epistle three orbiter f Ieet wIth no
fourth orbiter replacement. This assessment should
Include uenifest requirements for both launch and

operation of ~ space station. The assessment should also
be based on the assumption that the shuttle w111 fly at
least one-third of the Serene number of conmercte1
satellites launched over the manifest period.
. . .
4. An estimate, based on evallable.dats, of the verlous cost
trade-offs of the above assumptions.
I would appreciate your cooperation In forwarding this request
and in assisting with the study. ~ report covering these ~ ssues
should be aV9, fable to the House Appropriations Committee by
