NASA modified a contract with Boeing Information, Space and Defense Systems, increasing by US$163.4 million the company's contract for work on the ISS. Under the modified contract, Boeing would supply additional engineering support and prelaunch testing for the ISS. The original eight-year prime contract, effective since 1995, had a value of US$7.1 billion and covered the construction and integration of the ISS. The modification covered sustained engineering for station elements, engineering support following a component's delivery to NASA, and support of multielement integrated testing.

NASA announced that Raytheon STX Corporation of Lanham, Maryland, would provide routine data operations, research, and development support for the Space Science Data Operations Office and the National Space Science Data Center at GSFC, under a two-year contract with three one-year options. Valued at more than US$33 million, the contract covered the processing of space-science data and the acquisition, modeling, analysis, archiving, and dissemination of NASA's archival data to the scientific community, educators, and the public. 629
