The Comet Rendezvous Asteroid Flyby (CRAF)/Cassini program was first funded by the Congress in fiscal year 1990. Since then, it has encountered difficulties that resulted in the cancellation of CRAF, reduction of Cassini's original scientific capabilities, and extension of its launch date. At the request of the former Chairman of the Investigations and Oversight Subcommittee, House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, GAO reviewed the program to identify the factors that led to the cancellation of the CRAF project and the prospects for continuation of the Cassini project.
