00:00:11.349 --> 00:00:17.180
NASA’s Launch Services Program draws upon
years of expertise and a network of U.S. commercial

00:00:17.180 --> 00:00:22.360
launch vehicle providers to provide reliable
access to space . . . for missions that expand

00:00:22.360 --> 00:00:26.180
our knowledge and inspire the next generation.

00:00:26.180 --> 00:00:30.720
Customers develop the mission, build the spacecraft,
and operate it in space.

00:00:30.720 --> 00:00:37.149
But it’s LSP’s job to get the spacecraft
to the right destination on orbit.

00:00:37.149 --> 00:00:39.180
Amanda Mitskevich
Program Manager

00:00:39.180 --> 00:00:43.649
NASA's Launch Services Program
We’re here to make sure the mission is launched

00:00:43.649 --> 00:00:46.010
successfully, on time and on cost.

00:00:46.010 --> 00:00:51.679
LSP meets the needs of a diverse customer
base that includes NASA’s own mission directorates,

00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:56.390
the national security community, the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration -- or

00:00:56.390 --> 00:00:59.559
NOAA – and a host of international partners.

00:00:59.559 --> 00:01:03.289
The program treats every mission -- and every
spacecraft -- like its own.

00:01:03.289 --> 00:01:08.460
Suzanne Hilding
Director, Office of Systems Development, NESDIS

00:01:08.460 --> 00:01:14.270
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
That sense of ownership, the sense of responsibility

00:01:14.270 --> 00:01:15.400
and accountability, is tremendous.

00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:17.640
And that’s what sets them apart.
