An examination is made on the impact of Russian participation in NASA's space station program. This interim report deals with whether expanded Russian participation will (1) reduce space station funding requirements by $2 billion, as estimated by NASA, and (2) improve the station's capabilities for conducting research. Results at this time are that (1) NASA's estimated savings in the space station program would be largely offset by an estimated $1.4 billion in increased funding requirements accounted for in other parts of NASA's budget and (2) some of NASA's $2 billion savings may not be attributable to Russian participation. Russian participation in the space station would substantially increase overall station research resources.
