The development of the OPEN program proved to be a major challenge the cost and risk elements associated with the simultaneous construction and operation of 4 spacecraft and more than 30 scientific instruments were just too high for the anticipated level of funding and the achievement of the scientific objectives. Based on previous experience, intemational cooperation was actively sought to reduce NASA's costs and to widen the scientific participation in the program.
