NASA Safety Panel and GAO Raise Concerns Over ISS Budget Cuts and Commercial Station Transition Gap

Summary

NASA's Aerospace Safety Advisory Panel (ASAP) is warning against cutting the International Space Station budget as managing risks on the aging facility becomes increasingly difficult. Meanwhile, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) has found that NASA has not assessed the likelihood or duration of a potential gap between the end of the ISS and the availability of commercial replacement space stations, nor has it documented the decision-making process for next year's evaluation of whether to continue ISS operations.
