The NASA ASAP released the Core Suppliers List (CSL) Part II on December 19, 1996. This document contains manufacturer information, processing technologies and product lines. The manufacturers and their parts listed in this document are qualified and certified by the European Space Agency (ESA) and the National Space Development Agency of Japan (NASDA) for use in their respective space programs.

An on-line World Wide Web version of the CSL Part II is under development for release by the end of March 1997. A copy of this document can be obtained by contacting the author at the above address:

The CSL Part I was released in December 1995 and contains information on US part manufacturers and suppliers of monolithic microcircuits, hybrid microcircuits, transistors and diodes for NASA spaceflight applications. The ASAP is working on a program to consolidate the CSL Part I and the CSL Part II into one data base for use by system designers for NASA projects and programs. Further details will be provided in the next release of this newsletter.
