a lncludes $24 400 000 from the transition quarter.

b lncludes $9 300 000 from the transition quarter.

c From the Apollo budget. $52 645 000 was programmed for Apollo applications space vehicles, including Saturn IB; the FY 1971 budget estimate does not indicate the exact amount programmed for launch vehicles.

d $63 330 000 was programmed for Skylab space vehicles, including Saturn IB; the FY 1972 budget estimate does not indicate the exact amount programmed for launch vehicles.

e From the Skylab budget.

f The FY 1975 budget estimate does not indicate how Skylab funds were programmed in FY 1973. It was estimated in the FY 1974 budget estimate that $65 300 000 would be programmed in FY 1973 for Saturn IB.

g From the ASTP budget. The FY 1975 and 1976 budget estimates do not indicate how Skylab funds were programmed in FY 1974.

h The FY 1977 budget estimate does not indicate how ASTP funds were programmed in FY 1975; the FY 1976 budget estimate predicts that $32 500 000 would be programmed for Saturn IB in FY 1975.

i From the Apollo budget.

j Includes $157 996 000 from the Apollo budget and $4 100 000 from Skylab.

k The FY 1975 budget estimate does not indicate how Apollo and Skylab funds were programmed in FY 1973; the FY 1974 budget estimate predicts that $26 300 000 would be programmed for Saturn V from the Apollo budget and $56 600 000 from the Skylab budget.

I The FY 1975 and 1976 budget requests do not indicate how Skylab funds were programmed in FY 1974.

m lncludes $3 400 000 from the transition quarter.

n For engine definition.

o Includes $45 100 000 for main engine development and $13 800 000 for definition studies.

p For main engine development.

q Includes $82 307 000 for main engine development; $8 567 000 for solid rocket booster development; and $18 100 000 for external tank development.

r lncludes $95 300 000 for main engine development; $21 143 000 for solid rocket booster development; and $34 000 000 for external tank development.

s Includes $140 800 000 (plus $37 900 000 from the transition quarter) for main engine development; $82 240 000 (plus $26 000 000) for external tank development; and $65 700 000 (plus $20 400 000) for solid rocket booster development.

t Includes $182 200 000 for main engine development; $84 000 000 for external tank development; $100 400 000 for solid rocket booster development; and $5 000 000 for main engine production.

u lncludes $197 400 000 for main engine development; $88 030 000 for external tank development; $104 998 000 for solid rocket booster development; and $12 560 000 for main engine production.

v Supporting research and technology/advanced studies was dropped as a line item in the FY 1977 budget estimate; in the FY 1976 budget estimate it was predicted that $4 000 000 would be programmed in FY 1975. Tasks formerly funded by supporting research and technology/advanced studies monies were assumed by the spaceflight operations program.

w Supporting research and technology/advanced studies was dropped as a line item in the FY 1977 budget estimate. Tasks formerly funded by supporting research and technology/advanced studies monies were assumed by the spaceflight operations program.
