[i]Assure that all critical assets are in place to safely and efficiently fly the Space Shuttle through at least the middle of the next decade.[/i]
[i]NASA is moving into a new era. We are looking forward to what our space transportation needs will be over the long term to support NASA's entire mission. As we look to the next century of exploration, we will focus with renewed vigor on the challenges that lie before us and on developing unique capabilities that strengthen America while addressing our critical needs. We developed a new Integrated Space Transportation Plan (ISTP) that provides a roadmap for taking the next step in this journey. This roadmap more closely integrates the Space Station, Space Shuttle, and the planned Orbital Space Plane. It also calls for the Space Shuttle to fly safely and effectively through at least the middle of the next decade until we can field another means of sending humans into space. The SLEP is the means by which we will ensure that the Shuttle can continue to support this key goal, and that NASA can continue to fulfill its mission.[/i]
