Abstract. The fermionic NSR String possesses a hidden N=2 superconformal algebra on the world sheet. In this talk, I show how to use an isomorphism of this algebra, the so-called spectral flow, for construction of a subspace of physical states of the string, on which Space-Time supersymmetry acts. This construction is an alternative to the GSO-projection in string theory.
