The early space probes provided our first detailed look at the planets, and demonstrated the critical role played by parts technology. The advanced orbital platform under development, the Space Station Freedom (which represents a pivotal step in the space program) contains about 5 million Electrical, Electronic and Electromechanical (EEE) parts. Thus, EEE parts continue to be crucial to mission success. The NASA EEE parts program establishes and directs policy and integration throughout the Agency. The EEE program structure, issues and solutions are described. The challenge presented by advanced electronic devices is discussed.
