NASA's space telescope will be the largest, most complex space observatory ever developed. Life-cycle costs--$530 million in development costs, including $296 million for project reserves, and $600 million in operations costs to the year 2000--total an estimated $1.1 billion. Excluded from the life-cycle estimate were civil service salaries, studies and support costs, and inflation. Had they been included, the total would have been about $2.2 billion. NASA's semiannual Space Telescope Project Status Report should fully disclose the amount and use of reserves in the program estimate and include all applicable program costs. The Congress would then be in a more informed position to determine the program's progress and outlook.
