NASA EDGE sits down with Mike Ciannilli of the Apollo, Challenger, Columbia Lessons Learned Program (ACCLLP) to talk about how NASA is using the tragedies of the past to make sure we improve our processes moving forward. Joining the show are NASA Kennedy Space Center Director Bob Cabana, NASA Chief Engineer Ralph Roe, and Associate Administrator for Diversity and Equal Opportunity Steve Shih.

One major element of NASA’s return to the Moon is improved autonomous Guidance, Navigation, and Control systems. NASA EDGE takes a close look at NASA Langley Research Center’s development of Navigation Doppler Lidar (NDL) to provide accurate, surface-relative altitude and vector velocity data to make sure NASA can land spacecraft safely on the Moon and any surface.
During the session, participants looked at examples from NASA, industry, and cognitive science research to identify biases that can influence engineering decision making.
Anna McGowan, NASA’s Senior Engineer for Complex Systems Design, discusses the impact of interdisciplinary interactions on mission success.
