Strategic Goals Extend and sustain human activities across the solar system. Expand scientific understanding of the Earth and the universe in which we live. Create innovative new space technologies for our exploration, science, and economic future. Advance aeronautics research for societal benefit. Enable program and institutional capabilities to conduct NASA’s aeronautics and space activities. Share NASA with the public, educators, and students to provide opportunities to participate in our mission, foster innovation, and contribute to a strong economy. 5 Develop and operate integrated vehicles and systems to enable human space activities. Develop, integrate, and operate instruments and conduct research to expand knowledge of the universe. Develop, test, and mature new space technologies to enable NASA missions and benefit the Nation. Marshall does not programmatically support aeronautics. Provide and manage program, project, and institutional capabilities to conduct NASA’s and Marshall’s space activities. Share NASA and Marshall with the public, educators, and students to foster communication, participation, and innovation to benefit the interests of the Nation. NASA AgencyMarshall Space Flight Center Marshall’s work aligns with five of the six agency strategic goals.

Marshall’s Role within NASA Understanding Our World and Beyond Lifting from Earth Marshall contributes to the success of the agency’s mission. 8 Living and Working in Space

Lifting from Earth – The Space Launch System SLS – America’s Heavy Lift Rocket Safe, affordable and sustainable Carries the Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle (MPCV) Supports national missions beyond Earth orbit Back-up for ISS transportation Initial lift capacity of 70 tonnes (t) evolving to 130 t Builds on Saturn, Shuttle and Ares experience Marshall’s capabilities and facilities are launching the future of space vehicle development. 9 Shell Buckling Test J-2X Engine Tests Solid Rocket Motor Test Friction Stir Welding Upper Stage J-2X Engine Core Stage RS-25 Engines

Investing in Our Nation’s Capabilities 10 Stewardship: Formulate and recommend national policy options and strategies that promote a healthy industrial base. Technology: Identify technology needs and recommend technology insertions. Solutions Facilitator: Maintain relationships and awareness across the government and industry to align available capacity with emerging demand.

Focus on Partnerships Center Strategic Development (CSD) – Sets Strategy Strategically determines what partnerships are most beneficial to Marshall and best support our core competencies and communicates this information back to the Partnerships Office Helps the Partnership Office to identify stakeholders and opportunities to engage. Focused on: Rebuilding the center’s capability to propose and capture new work. Evaluating new opportunities and providing information to management to help determine if the new work we go after supports our core capabilities Helping develop long-term plans to get us where we want to be by the end of the decade Partnerships Office – Implementation Provides a single entry point for Marshall’s external customers such as industry, academia, DoD, other NASA centers, nonprofits, and international partners who want to partner with Marshall and utilize our skills and capabilities. Will facilitate getting partners what they need and coordinating with the right people in the center or across the agency.
