The Academy’s annual publications highlight its efforts to serve the NASA workforce.
2011 marked the beginning of a new era for NASA. With the retirement of the space shuttle after the successful completion of its final missions, the agency embraced a transition to new forms of collaboration with international and commercial partners to reach low-Earth orbit. Science missions such as Aquarius and aeronautics research such as the Integrated Systems Research Program also highlighted the growing importance of innovative partnerships. The consolidation of space operations and human exploration into one mission directorate represented a new level of integration as the agency undertook the development of a heavy launch vehicle that will carry humans deeper into space.
The Academy’s annual publications provide a snapshot of its efforts to help the NASA workforce meet the challenges of today and tomorrow.
