The Mariner Jupiter/Saturn 1977 project is part of the
National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) program
with objectives of advancing knowledge of thpse planets and
relating their properties to those of Earth.
Findings/Conclusions: NASAls cost estimate of $450.9 million for
the project did not include $35.7 million of project-related
costs. The project was on schedule and delays were not
anticipated. Plans were being consilered to extend the project
to iaclude interplanetarl/interstellar research which would add
about $61 million to costs, exclusive of tracking and data
acquisition costs. Recommendations: The NASA Administrator
should identify and bring together in the project status report
all identifiable costs and pertinent schedule and performance
data, and should submit then to responsible congressional
committees. (HTW)](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobaaceo0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
