NASA OIG: NASA's Stuff Is Getting Old

NASA Infrastructure and Facilities: Assessment of Data Used to Manage Real Property Assets, NASA OIG
“NASA Inspector General Paul K. Martin today released a report examining the accuracy of the primary database NASA uses to evaluate its extensive real property assets. NASA owns approximately 5,000 buildings and structures such as wind tunnels, laboratories, launch pads, and test stands valued at more than $26.4 billion. However, 80 percent of NASA’s facilities are 40 or more years old and many are in degraded condition. Given the extent and age of NASA’s facilities, it is imperative that NASA managers have reliable data with which to manage these assets.”
