As a result of the IG(Space) meeting of February 5, 1986, certain
actions are required leading to formulation of recommendations on
changes to the U.S. space launch program. The Shuttle Challenger
loss requires addressal of the program in the near, reconstitutional
phase; the mid, transitional phase; and the far, future capability
phase. (C)
One action is to consolidate all pertinent data on impact the
loss of the orbiter has on the U.S. national space launch program.
This means identifying which civil, commercial, military, and
intelligence programs are affected and reviewing what can be done
to modify the planned satellite launch manifest to reprioritize,
defer, or cancel launch actions for selected spacecraft. (C)

Another action is to review expendable launch vehicle programs
and determine necessary programmatic changes which ensure an
early and effective use of boosters to augment the Shuttle.
Other actions include identifying costs, timing milestones,
treating policy issues, analyzing international implications,
designing strategy ensuring that early expenditures and
program changes efficiently coordinate with mid and long term
goals, examining the role of private sector involvement,
determining legislative options and what role the aerospace
plane could play. (C)
We request that DOD and NASA co-chair a subcommittee of the
IG(Space) made up of IG(Space) member agencies and depart-
ments. The subcommittee should consolidate as many inputs as
possible, a number of which we are told are either done or
nearly done, and provide a draft report to Jerry May of the
NSC Staff by February 14. We plan that the IG(Space) will
convene on February 14 to receive copies of the draft report,
hear a brief progress summary from the subcommittee
co-chairmen,
and determine priority of the next actions. (C)
