In October 2001, the NASA Administrator requested a joint
study to review potential partnerships in developing a Federal
Spaceport in Florida. In April 2002 the AF/NRO/NASA Partnership
Council agreed to leave the action of studying a potential
Federal Spaceport open, but the principals agreed to an independent
review of the J-BOSC partnership prior to initiating a full
study of a Federal Spaceport. The Academy panel will review
the original objectives of the J-BOSC against the performance
to date. The study will examine the effectiveness of the government
management (structure and process) to provide quality spaceport
services at a reasonable cost and identify lessons learned
from the J-BOSC experience and value added to the AF and NASA
operations.
