Lessons Learned from Large NASA Projects (Preview)
Large, complex missions have long development timeframes that often increase the challenges associated with budget, schedule, risk and reviews. In this VPMC session, associate administrators of two NASA mission directorates will share lessons learned from large projects.
William H. Gerstenmaier, associate administrator for the Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate, provides strategic direction for NASA’s human exploration of space and programmatic direction for the International Space Station, Space Launch System and Orion spacecraft. Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator for NASA’s Science Mission Directorate, is responsible for directing and overseeing the nation’s space research program in Earth and space science.
