The post Challenger era Get Away Special program January 1992The Get Away Special (GAS) program is described in terms of the changes that have taken place in both NASA and the GAS itself. Attention is given to the relationships developed between NASA and GAS customers in the context of programmatic and technical issues. The background of the GAS program is outlined with reference given to policy publications, the design of the Flight Verification Payload, and the first GAS payload launched. A review process is described that facilitates the management of the payloads through flight certification. The GAS Bridge was developed to carry up to 12 payloads simultaneously, and the recent period of GAS inactivity is explained. A price increase is introduced for future GAS payloads with negotiable access to optional services, and the ease and accessibility of the GAS programs for private experiments is emphasized.
