What lessons could you learn from a low-cost, short-schedule mission?

As NASA charts the course from the Moon to Mars, APPEL Knowledge Services has developed the Knowledge Inventory to provide quick, easy access to a growing collection of valuable information, with case studies, lessons learned, expert videos, knowledge networks and more.

NASA EDGE provided coverage of the ICON launch prior to the most recent launch attempt. Find out all about the ICON mission and the crew that launches the Pegasus rocket from the Northrop Grumman L-1011 Stargazer, and stay tuned for a new launch date coming soon. Go ICON.

Watch recording of the The Solar Orbiter Rollout Show.

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.

The use of common hardware can help to mitigate a number of issues with obtaining spacecraft replacement parts.

Talented people who work on programs and projects at NASA centers are the lifeblood of the agency’s mission success. In future sessions, the VPMC will spotlight programs and projects at different NASA centers and share insights from people who keep the projects moving forward.

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.
