_High_Technology_ magazine (August 1987) had a story on the Station.

There are four "work packages" and thirty companies in 8 teams bidding
for them.  NASA is *supposed* to pick a team as of November to do the
work on each package.

In the following section, team leaders are in CAPITALS.  The teams are
in column form under the team leader.

The packages and teams are:


Segment I     Crew and lab modules                     ($2.5 billion)

         BOEING                     MARTIN MARIETTA

         Lockheed Missiles & Space  Hughes Aircraft
         Teledyne Brown Engineering United Technologies (Hamilton Standard)
         TRW                        USBI Booster Production

Through the course of my job interviewing, I have heard several
companies' representatives complain that their companies had "lost the
contract" with NASA for the Station.  I thought the results weren't due
until November.  It isn't always the best policy to question the
interviewer's source of information.  I wish I knew, however, what the
real status is on the Station bids.

Would someone who knows what NASA has done on these bids please let me
know?  I am putting special emphasis on these companies during my job
search.  If NASA has decided which teams will get the contracts, I
want to know.
