Shuttle operator United Space Alliance (USA) cut 363 jobs at Kennedy Space Center (KSC), one of the largest cutbacks in decades. Combining the layoffs with 194 voluntary resignations, USA eliminated 557 jobs at KSC. In implementing the cutbacks, the company hoped to "trim $100 million from the current shuttle budget," thereby reducing costs, improving efficiency, and attracting new payload customers without compromising safety.
