Mentoring can be defined as a process where someone with experience or knowledge teaches or gives advice to a less experienced and often younger person.

Fifty-five years ago, this month, NASA launched TIROS-7, a satellite that further validated the role the nascent technology would play in weather forecasting. 

An unexplained explosion of a rechargeable battery led NASA’s Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) Facility to implement new safety and prevention measures.

Rehearsals and simulations can help to develop experience for a team preparing to support a launch.

For the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018 (Q4 FY18), APPEL Knowledge Services will offer a wide range of courses, with an emphasis on leveraging lessons learned and managing systems complexity to advance mission success. 

This Virtual Project Management (PM) Challenge looked at the Dellingr CubeSat and the Low-Density Supersonic Decelerator. Participants discussed their approach to the challenges of small projects and share lessons learned.

Three new APPEL Knowledge Services courses help NASA’s technical workforce understand the benefits and applications of Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE). 

At centers across NASA, the agency is rocketing ahead toward Exploration Mission 1 (EM-1) and Exploration Mission 2 (EM-2).
