NATIONAL SECURITY STUDY
DIRECTIVE NUMBER 5-83
April 11, 1983
SPACE STATION
OBJECTIVE
A study will be conducted to establish the basis for an
Administration decision on whether or not to proceed with
the NASA development of a permanently based, manned space
Station. This NSSD establishes the Terms of Reference for
this study.
GUIDELINES
The specific policy issues to be addressed are the following
(responsible agencies are indicated in parenthesis):
MI6 .11
MEI ???11
How will a manned Space Station contribute to the
maintenance of U.S. space leadership and to the
other goals contained in our National Space Policy?
UMW
How will a manned Space Station best fulfill
national and international requirements versus
other means of satisfying them? (NASA/State for
national and international civil space require-
ments; DOD/DCI for national security needs.)
What are the national security implications of a
manned Space Station? (DOD/DCI)
What are the foreign policy implications, including
arms control implications, of a manned Space Station?
(State/NASA/ACDA)
What is the overall economic and social impact of
a manned Space Station? (NASA/Commerce/State)
These five policy issues will be addressed for each of the
four scenarios outlined below.
In order to assess the policy issues in a balanced fashion,
NASA will provide a background paper outlining four example
scenarios that represent possible approaches for the con-
tinuation of this nation's manned space program. These
example scenarios are:

A separate, unrelated, generic space requirements paper will
be produced for use in addressing the national policy issues.
The representative set of? requirements for each space sector
will be provided by DOD/DCI for national secuzity and NASA/DOC
for civil programs. A drafting group consisting of representa-
tives of the DCI, DOD, DOC and NASA will coalesce the require-
ments into a single document. It will represent currently
identifiable official agency statements of requirements for
a Space Station. Long-term agency requirements and objectives
should also be included.
IMPLEMENTATION
A Working Group under the Senior Interagency Group for Space
has been established to? conduct this study. The Working
Group is chaired by NASA and includes representatives from
DOD, DOC, DCI, DOS and ACDA. The Working Group will produce
a summary paper that assesses the issues and identifies
policy options. Results of the study will be presented to
the SIG(Space) not later than September 1983 prior to presen-
tation to the President. Papers produced by the Working
Group will Dot be distributed outside the Executive Branch
without the approval of the SIG (Space). The SIG (Space) may
issue more detailed Terms of Reference to implement this
study.
