NASA Space Centers: What’s on their plates?<br /><br />There’s been some talk about people at NASA getting whacked, but the official response is that budgets are stable, with no layoffs or major hiring in sight. Priorities are going to shift to those things needed to make CEV/CLV happen ASAP, but other programs should remain relatively status quo. <br /><br />Even without major policy changes, NASA is a very dynamic and diverse organization, so projects are always coming and going. What kind of changes are in store for 2006?<br /><br />Kennedy (Florida): Gateway to the Galaxy (STS, CEV development)<br /><br />Johnson (Texas): Human Space Exploration (STS, ISS, VSE, CEV development)<br /><br />Marshall (Alabama): Key Technologies: Propulsion & Space-Based Research (CLV)<br /><br />Goddard (Maryland): Space-Based Observations (Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, ?)<br /><br />Jet Propulsion Laboratory (California): Robotic Exploration (DAWN, Aquarius, Hydros)<br /><br />Ames (California): Leading Edge Research (?)<br /><br />Glenn (Ohio): Critical Research, Exploration Systems (?)<br /><br />Dryden (California): Flight Research (?)<br /><br />Langley (Virginia): Aeronautics, Atmospheric Sciences (Aerocapture?)<br /><br />Stennis (Mississippi): Propulsion Testing, Applied Earth-Sun & Earth Science (?)<br /><br />White Sands (New Mexico): (Not a Center, a Test Facility under JSC) <br />(are there other subsidiary Facilities of note?)<br /><br />How will these centers fare under the Griffin Administration?<br /><br />Or, just talk about cool projects these Centers are doing . . . <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
