NASA Space Shuttle Workforce Transition Strategy Pursuant to FY 2008 Consolidated Appropriations Act (P.L. 110-161). July 2009 Update

摘要

This is the Third Edition of the NASA Workforce Transition Strategy. This report responds to direction in the FY 2008 Consolidated Appropriations Act (P.L. 110-161). This Third Edition follows the release of the Presidents detailed FY 2010 budget submit and establishment of the Review of U.S. Human Space Flight Plans Committee. These recent events have reaffirmed the Administrations commitment to the broad goals laid out in current U.S. space exploration policy. Therefore, NASAs focus in the near-term remains unchanged to safely and successfully fly out the remaining eight Space Shuttle missions, including a mission to deliver the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer to the International Space Station (ISS), complete assembly of the ISS, and continue to bring the initial operating capability (IOC) for Orion and Ares I online as soon as possible after Shuttle retirement. This update focuses on particular activities that have occurred since the October 2008 edition was released.
