	KENNEDY SPACE CENTER
		The Space Shuttle is NASA's first major program to have a long-term operational phase; however, all the major current and future human space flight programs--the International Space Station, the X-33 experimental reusable launch vehicle, and any lunar base or human space flight to Mars--are also projected to have lengthy operational phases.
		Nondestructive evaluation is important for inspecting and verifying space vehicles and their components during manufacture and to continue validating those items during assembly, launch, and on orbit.
		Kennedy Space Center is working with other NASA centers to develop and apply obstacle-avoidance sensors and systems, multidegree-of-freedom robotic devices, intelligent control systems, inspection sensors and systems, and advanced software technologies for health monitoring and diagnosis.
