                                 ORDER
 
        This protest was filed by General Sciences Corporation (GSC)
   on  August 10,  1994.   GSC  protested  the intended  award  of a
   contract  by  respondent,  the  National  Aeronautics  and  Space
   Administration, to Science Systems and Applications, Incorporated
   (SSAI),  for comprehensive  support services  in  support of  the
   Goddard Institute for Space Studies.   On August 16, 1994, Hughes
   STX Corporation  (Hughes) filed  a notice  of intervention  as an
   intervenor  of right on the side of  protester, and on August 17,
   1994, SSAI filed  its notice of intervention as  an intervenor of
   right  on the side  of respondent.   Upon  motion of  Hughes, the
   Board dismissed it as an intervenor on August 31, 1994.
 
 
        On August  31,  protester moved  this Board  to dismiss  its
   protest with prejudice pursuant to Rule 28(a).  None of the other
   parties objects to protester's motion.  Accordingly, this protest
   is  DISMISSED.     The  Board's  order   suspending  respondent's
   delegation of procurement authority lapses by its terms.
