NASA Finds Down-to-Earth Savings

Major Cost Savings

One net effect of the electronic publishing and print-on-demand system and networking capabilities is, as Tuey puts it, "to save all kinds of Money." How much will NASA save? Life cycle cost analysis (over a five-year period) reveals that the systems will bring about a cost reduction of over $51.9 million. After subtracting the equipment costs of about $6.7 million, this leaves a net savings of more than $45 million for NASA.
