9.1.4 SPACE FLIGHT
The mission of the Space Flight Enterprise is to open the space frontier by exploring, using and enabling the development of space and to expand the human experience into the far reaches of space. It does this through three themes: The International Space Station theme supports activities for establishing a permanent human presence in Earth orbit. The ISS provides a long-duration, habitable laboratory for science and research activities investigating the limits of human performance, expanding human experience in living and working in space, and enabling the commercial development of space. The Space Shuttle theme builds on the Shuttle's primacy as the world's most reliable and versatile launch system. The Shuttle, first launched in 1981, provides the only capability in the United States for human access to space. The Space and Flight Support theme encompasses several programs: Space Communications, Launch Services, Rocket Propulsion Testing, and Advanced Systems.
