NASA Administrator Daniel S. Goldin and Italian Space Agency (ASI) President Sergio DeJulio sign a Framework for Cooperation to build the Habitation Module for the International Space Station. Seated at the table (left to right) are The Honorable Lamberto Dini, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Republic of Italy; DeJulio; Goldin; and John Schumacher, assistant administrator, External Relations, NASA. The Framework is a potential bilateral cooperative agreement that could result in ASI development of a U.S. Habitation Module for the International Space Station. This agreement allows the U.S. to explore an alternative approach to achieve full crew habitation for the ISS. A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between NASA and ASI will be required to formally document NASA and ASI’s respective responsibilities in a legally binding document. The Framework signed today would form the basis for a potential MOU which NASA and ASI would sign after completion of the program assessment and subsequent negotiations. The ceremony took place at the IMAX Theater, Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex
