Houston, Texas, January 22, 2004 SPACEHAB, Incorporated (NASDAQ/NMS: SPAB), a leading provider of commercial space services, today announced a two-step restructuring of its space shuttle and International Space Station (ISS) support operations that expands the Company’s core competencies and streamlines its unique services to NASA.

As previously reported, SPACEHAB is establishing a contract with Cargo Mission Contractor, Lockheed Martin Corporation (NYSE: LMT), to provide International Space Station (ISS) resupply services previously performed directly for NASA. The new contract ensures SPACEHAB will continue its substantial contribution to the ISS program and maintains the Company’s role as an integral member of the ISS cargo mission team.

Additionally, SPACEHAB is bolstering its systems integration and operations capabilities by bringing these functions in-house in support of its logistics and research modules. These activities were previously performed by The Boeing Company (NYSE: BA) under contract to SPACEHAB. The Company is transitioning a portion of this work to Lockheed Martin and the majority of the services will be performed or managed within SPACEHAB.

“Based upon our extensive experience supporting the Space Shuttle and International Space Station programs, we look forward to continuing our high-value services to NASA and commercial users of space,” said Michael E. Kearney, SPACEHAB President and Chief Executive Officer. “The increased internal capabilities and our recognized experience for innovative, cost-effective commercial space solutions strongly position SPACEHAB to contend for new and emerging NASA programs and commercial ventures,” added Kearney.

SPACEHAB will now be performing end-to-end mission integration functions, developing new flight hardware, and conducting the sustaining engineering on its existing modules and carriers. This move will reduce costs for NASA, increase flexibility in responding quickly to changing customer requirements, and build upon existing core SPACEHAB capabilities needed to support future logistics and research missions to the ISS.

SPACEHAB responded to Lockheed Martin’s sole source request for proposal to provide NASA with an Integrated Cargo Carrier (ICC) on space shuttle mission ULF1.1 (STS-121), a Logistics Single Module (LSM) and an ICC on 12A.1 (STS-116), and an LSM and an ICC on 13A.1 (STS-118). SPACEHAB’s proposal reflects the Company’s streamlined approach to module integration and operations, providing exclusive services to NASA in support of these critical ISS missions.
