Looking ahead over a comparable period of time, what can the nation and the world expect of NASA? What will be the agency's goals and objectives, and what will be the strategy for achieving them? More fundamentally, how will the goals, objectives, and strategy be established and by whom? How will they be modified to reflect changes in science, technology, national priorities, and available resources? After a "comprehensive independent assessment of NASA's strategic direction and agency management", the NRC Committee determined that, only with a national consensus on the agency's future strategic direction can NASA continue to deliver the wonder, the knowledge, the national security and economic benefits, and the technology that have been typified by its earlier history. This report summarizes the findings and recommendations of the Committee. 000720831 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000720831 61010 $$aUnited States.$$bNational Aeronautics and Space Administration$$xPlanning. 000720831 650_0 $$aAeronautics$$zUnited States$$xPlanning. 000720831 650_0 $$aAstrophysics$$xResearch$$zUnited States$$xPlanning. 000720831 650_0 $$aStrategic planning. 000720831 7102_ $$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$$bCommittee on NASA's Strategic Direction,$$eissuing body. 000720831 77608 $$iPrint version:$$tNASA's strategic direction and the need for a national consensus.$$dWashington, District of Columbia : National Academies Press, [2012]$$z9780309313544$$w(OCoLC)ocn822894397 000720831 852__ $$bebk 000720831 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://site.ebrary.com/lib/usiricelib/Doc?id=10863708$$zOnline Access 000720831 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:720831$$pGLOBAL_SET 000720831 980__ $$aEBOOK 000720831 980__ $$aBIB 000720831 982__ $$aEbook 000720831 983__ $$aOnline
