iss research.do national laboratories and center for the advancement of science in space have used the iss. this week in boston with allies as users conference. this is an exciting time as many researchers are beginning to see the bandages of space research. the growth of non-nasa research is exciting and shows there's a generic interest in using the unique properties of space to investigate basic research opportunities typically only done on the earth. space provides a unique window into any physical process that is affected by gravity. further the human body reacts in space with many conditions that mimic conditions facing the elderly. muscle wasting to immune system degradation and balance problems. using animal models, unique insight and potential new treatments for the elderly can be developed based on space station received the as the chairman stated operating under frontier space is not easy to in the past nine months three independent cargo vehicles were lost on the way to the iss. is shows

funding for the iss research represents a mere 12% of the overall iss budget. constraints on cargo transportation, as well as available power and precious crew time limit what research can be accomplished at the station. in that regard i know many of us want to understand the implications of cargo resupply operations. crew operations and the sustainability of the station. in addition, mr. chairman, there's critical work to be done on the iss and human health research and technology development that needs to be carried out if we're going to make progress toward the long-term goal of sending humans to mars. in january 2014, the obama administration proposed to extend iss operations until at least 2024. the administration has three rationales for the extension. to complete iss research that supports long duration human missions beyond lower earth orbit to garner societal benefits. some of which we see here. and to give nasa and private partners more time to transition to commercial cargo and crew allowing nasa to focus on human exploration of deep space. today's h

so for them to extend the iss. we have a responsibility to make sure the taxpayers get all they can from every dollar they send to the federal government. this is worthwhile and the benefits far outweigh the cost. support for the iss and utilization is not a partisan issue but an american insurer and i look forward to working with my friends on the other side of the aisle to understand how we all meet the operational challenges facing the iss program i now recognize the ranking member from maryland for an opening statement. >> good morning and welcome to the distinguished panel of witnesses. so '02 address operational challenges i reminded the challenges that nasa and the agency faces to operate the international space station would be more concerned if we were not able to overcome some of those challenges. it is to the crew that is true. we saddam is in this room and looked of this great to have the opportunity to communicate with the crew on board including the astronauts from maryland. i promised him crabcakes i

april 28, a separate russian cargo vehicle failed to reach the iss. june 7th 2015 a real boost of the iss of a doctor vehicle failed but eventually was successful after troubleshooting. on june 10, a visiting vehicle fired ended june without being commanded. most recently june 28, t6 an unmanned cargo launch failed as well. all of these highly the challenges of operating in space. they remind us that the nasa contractors and engineers and astronauts must be vigilant they have challenged operations but the fact that the program could effectively respond to the setbacks is a testament to nasa, the iss partners and contractors. we do not know the root cause the ones we have more reformation we are better suited to review those events. in the meantime this allows us to evaluate the status of the iss cover review efforts of the the cassettes to assess the prospects for future operations. it is one of the most complex and expensive man-made objects ever built the taxpayers invest approximately $3 billion per year in his laboratory. we must insure every doll

we have that same commitment with the iss. during this time, astronauts have experienced water leaks in their suits three times with one incident hearing during a space walk. on april 26th, 2013 an unmanned cargo damaged the reflector when docking with the iss. on january 14th, 2015 a false alarm of an ammonia leak caused the crew to retreat into the russian segment. an orbital sciences unmand cargo launch failed just after launch. on april 28th 2015, a separate russian cargo vehicle failed to reach the iss. on june 7th 2015 a planned reboost of the iss using a docked progress vehicle failed. but eventually was successful after trouble shooting. on june 10th 2015 a visiting soyuz vehicle unexpectedly fired its engines without being commanded. on june 28th 2015, a space-x unmanned cargo launch failed as well. all of these incidents highlight the challenges of operating in space and they remind us nasa's contractors, engineers and astronauts must be ever diligent. these events have challenged iss operations but the fact the prog

the iss has not been extended by congress. however the administration has proposed to extend to 2024. how many international partners have agreed to extension and what steps is nasa taking to build a coalition of our international partners for an extension? >> the canadian space agency has agreed to extend to 2024 so we have one partner, the canadian space agency doing a lot of robotic activities and have the robotic equipment on board station. described earlier the russians by the end of this year could be on board with extension in 2024. the japanese are also actively looking at station extension, they could do that again probably by the end of this year, possibly by the start of the next fiscal year in april of 2016 and the japanese are actively working that and we are working with them and the european space agency, again working through the overall budget process, they have committed to support us on the orion capsules. teams in ohio are working on the european service model that sits underneath the orion capital. they ar

the iss works in concert with the ground. when we begin to go to interplanetary operations, those crewmembers will work autonomously from the ground. it's just a just a matter of distance. how people function independent of this will be very different than how we operate on the iss today. >> the bottom line is nasa does need a robust science team on this base station to achieve those long-term exploration go goals. however nasa has to be able to pay for it in the congress has to be able to pay for it. that relies on robust participation to be able to do some of the things nasa can divert funding to the long-term exploration. being able to establish those markets to do some of the research that will be required to support those longer duration flights will be essential in getting them to pay for it will also be essential. going to mars is expensive. >> are you comfortable with the accounting and auditing that has gone on to date on this program? the numbers? >> on the international space station program? i haven't looked speci
