Although the agency added to and upgraded itsequipment and increased the number of buildings and other structures, thenumber of NASA installations remained the same throughout the decade.The only change was the consolidation of two centers with two others.

Inan October 1981 agency reorganization, Dryden Flight Research Centerwas consolidated with Ames Research Center and renamed Dryden FlightResearch Facility, and Wallops Flight Center became part of GoddardSpace Flight Center and was renamed Wallops Flight Facility.In addition to NASA Headquarters, in 1979, NASA consisted of tenfield installations and the contractor-operated Jet Propulsion Laboratory.Five of the installations—Ames Research Center, Dryden Flight ResearchCenter, Langley Research Center, Lewis Research Center, and WallopsFlight Center—had been facilities of the National Advisory Committee forAeronautics (NACA). These installations were transferred to NASA in1958 when the agency was established.

Within the next few years, GoddardSpace Flight Center, Kennedy Space Center, Marshall Space Flight Center,and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory were transferred to NASA from the U.S.military space program. NASA established the National Space TechnologyLaboratories as a NASA center in 1974 and renamed it the Stennis SpaceCenter in 1988. Figure 6–1 diagrams the locations of the NASA installations, and Figure 6–2 chronicles the establishment of these installations.Each NASA installation focused its resources on particular majorprograms and mission areas. Table 6–1 lists these areas of concentration.The first part of this chapter reviews NASA’s aggregate facilities: thevalue and size of its total holdings and the installations’ holdings groupedtogether for easy comparison. The second part of the chapter describesNASA Headquarters and the individual NASA installations that existedduring all or part of the years from 1979 through 1988.

It briefly describestheir history and mission and also provides tables that characterize theproperty, personnel, funding, and procurement activity of each installation during this period.383NVWhite SandsTest FacilityLas Cruces, NMUTCOKSOKSlidell ComputerComplexSlidell, LATXNEMNIAMSILMIKYOHGAWVNational SpaceTechnologyLaboratoriesBay St.

The following definitions comefrom NASA Management Instructions and NASA ManagementHandbooks:Buildings: Facilities with the basic function of enclosing usablespace.Capital Equipment: An item of equipment with an acquisition cost of$5,000 or more that has an estimated service life of two years or more,that will not be consumed in an experiment, and that most generally willbe identified as an independently operable item (identified as “capitalizedequipment” in this chapter).Collateral Equipment: Building-type equipment, built-in equipment,and large, substantially affixed equipment that are normally acquired andinstalled as a part of a facility project.Component Installation: An installation, office, or other NASA organizational element that is located geographically apart from a NASAinstallation and that, pursuant to delegations from the Administrator, isassigned for management purposes to the official-in-charge of aHeadquarters office, the director of a field installation, or an immediatesubordinate of these officials.Equipment: An item of real or personal property generally in the configuration of a mechanical, electrical, or electronic apparatus or tool, normally costing in excess of $100, that may perform a functionindependently or in conjunction with other equipment or components.Facility: A generic term used to encompass real property and relatedintegral and collateral equipment of a capital nature.

The term does notencompass operating materials, supplies, and noncapitalized equipment.The term is used in connection with land, buildings, structures, and otherreal property improvements.Field Installation: A NASA organizational element located geographically apart from NASA Headquarters and headed by a director.Fixed Assets: Assets of a permanent character having a continuingvalue, such as land, buildings, and other structures and facilities, including collateral and noncollateral equipment meeting the criteria forcapitalization.Installation: A NASA organizational element, including bothHeadquarters and field installations.Integral Equipment: Equipment that is normally required to make afacility useful and operable as a facility and that is built in or permanently affixed to it in such a manner that removal would impair the usefulness,safety, or comfort of the facility.Investment Value: A figure representing the total of real propertyvalue (including land, buildings, and other structures and facilities),**DB Chap 6(381-403)1/17/022:05 PMPage 387FACILITIES AND INSTALLATIONS387leasehold improvements value, capitalized equipment value, and assetsin-progress value.Land: A category of real property that includes all acquired interestsin land (for example, owned, leased, or acquired by permit) but excludesNASA-controlled easements and rights-of-way that are under leaseholdimprovements.Leased Property: Property under the control of NASA throughlease, administrative agreement, temporary permit, license, or otherarrangements.Leasehold Improvements: NASA-funded long-term capital improvements to leases, rights, interests, and privileges relating to land not ownedby NASA, such as easements, rights-of-way, permits, use agreements,water rights, air rights, and mineral rights.Noncollateral Equipment: Equipment that imparts to the facility ortest apparatus its particular character at the time—for example, furniturein an office building, laboratory equipment in a laboratory, and so forth.Such equipment, when acquired and used in a facility or a test apparatus,can be severed and removed after erection or installation without substantial loss of value or damage thereto or to the premises where installed.Other Structures and Facilities: A category of real property thatincludes facilities having the basic function of research or operationaltools or activities as distinct from buildings (includes items such as airfield pavements, power production facilities and distribution systems,flood control and navigation aids, storage, industrial service, and researchand development facilities other than buildings, and communicationssystems).Personal Property: Property of any kind, including equipment, materials, and supplies, but excluding real property.Real Property: Land, buildings, structures, utilities systems, andimprovements and appurtenances thereto, permanently annexed to land.NASA Facility Property StatisticsTables 6–2 through 6–18 include statistics for 1979 through 1988 onNASA property, real property, investment values, land, buildings, otherstructures, capitalized equipment, and tracking and data acquisitionstations.InstallationsThe following pages list the directors and deputy directors of eachNASA installation and provide a brief center history and description ofeach installation’s mission.
