NASA announced a partnership with Dreamtime Holdings Inc., a start-up company backed by Lockheed Martin to provide the International Space Station (ISS) with high-definition television and to create digital archives for NASA. The agreement was NASA's first involving a commercial partner that would provide support for the ISS. Administrator Daniel S. Goldin announced the partnership at NASA's Ames Research Center, located in the high-technology hub of California's Silicon Valley, predicting that the partnership would move NASA to the forefront of the information age and terming it "innovative government at its best." Dreamtime planned to spend US$100 million on the project, which would give civilians access to never-before-seen images of the Space Shuttles and of NASA missions. The pact resulted from the Commercial Space Act of 1998, enacted to increase commercial involvement in and funding for the ISS.
