NASA EXTENDS CONTRACT TO SUPPORT SCIENCE AND MISSION OPERATIONS

WASHINGTON - NASA has decided to exercise a five-year option with
Teledyne Brown Engineering, Inc., Huntsville, Ala., for continued
systems development and operations support for the Science and
Mission Systems Office at the agency's Marshall Space Flight Center,
Huntsville.

The maximum potential value of the cost plus award fee contract,
including the option and incentive fees, is $568 million.

The company will continue to provide NASA payload development,
operations and science technology research. The contract also
provides science, technical and engineering support to investigators
in addition to management and administrative support. The research
will further NASA's science goals by developing, operating and
maintaining facilities and payloads on the International Space
Station and other space vehicles and carriers.

The contract was awarded in 2002 and contained a five-year option
period that NASA could choose to exercise if support was still
required and performance warranted. NASA determined the contract
effort is still required and Teledyne Brown Engineering, Inc.,
exhibited outstanding performance.
