Summary:

Final report of an audit performed by the Office of Inspector General to evaluate NASA's management of space shuttle safety upgrades.

Also finds that NASA ensured that the integration of safety upgrades did not adversely affect the flight schedule. Identifies concerns expressed by the Congress and Aerospace Safety Advisory Panel about adequacy of further funding.
