     National Space Science Data Center Charge and Service Policy
********************************************************************************
The purpose of the National Space Science Data Center (NSSDC) is to provide
data and information from space and Earth science flight experiments for
studies beyond those performed by the principal investigators.  These services
are available to foreign requesters through the World Data Center-A for
Rockets and Satellites (WDC-A-R&S).  Normally, a charge is made to cover the
cost of reproducing and processing the requested data.  However, as resources
permit, the NSSDC director may waive the charge for modest amounts of data
when they are to be used for scientific studies or specific college-level
educational purposes, and when they are requested by an individual affiliated
with:
    1- NASA installations, NASA contractors, or NASA grantees.
    2- Other U.S. Government agencies, their contractors, or their grantees.
    3- Accredited Universities or colleges
    4- State of local governments
    5- Nonprofit organizations
