For the 13th year in a row, this audit resulted in a “clean” or unmodified opinion. » Report       2023 Report on NASA’s Top Management and Performance Challenges In this year’s report, we identified seven key challenges for NASA—including two that pose significant cost and schedule risks to the Artemis campaign, the Agency’s most ambitious and expensive human space exploration effort since Apollo. » Report       NASA’s Management of the Artemis Supply Chain NASA’s Artemis campaign involves multiple programs and projects, more than a dozen major prime contractors, and thousands of suppliers. When supply chain disruptions happen, it can put the entire effort at risk of significant delays and increased costs. Part of the problem, we found, is that NASA lacks full visibility into the Artemis campaign’s suppliers. » Report       NASA’s Transition of the Space Launch System to a Commercial Services Contract  This report, one in a series of audits examining NASA’s development of space flight systems for Artemis IV and future missions, examines the Agency’s plans to move its individual SLS contracts to a commercial services contract to lower the cost of the launch system. » Report       NASA’s Efforts to Demonstrate Robotic Servicing of On-Orbit Satellites Poor contractor performance and technology development issues threaten to push NASA’s On-Orbit Servicing, Assembly, and Manufacturing 1 project beyond its $2.05 billion budget and projected December 2026 launch date. » Report      1 2 3 4 5 All OIG Products »             Audits    November 15, 2023 Audit of NASA’s Fiscal Year 2023 Financial Statements (IG-24-004)
