White Sands Test Facility

11. NASA Vision and Mission
Vision: We reach for new heights and reveal the unknown for the benefit of humankind. Mission: Drive advances in science, technology, aeronautics, and space exploration to enhance knowledge, education, innovation, economic vitality, and stewardship of Earth.

12. Johnson Space Center Organization
Reports to JSC Director

13. JSC 2.0 Advance human spaceflight by being lean, agile and
The purpose of JSC 2.0 is to:
Advance human spaceflight
by being lean, agile and
adaptive to change.
Only by doing that, will we make possible future exploration missions leading to a mission to Mars. And possible, not just because we solve many exciting technical and operational challenges, but because we figured out how to do it in a way that:
Fits a budget that the Administration and Congress are willing to provide,
Makes best use of every person we have,
Leads to smart decisions about roles for commercial and international partners, and
Engages the public.

14. JSC 2.0
All of the aforementioned translate into a “new way of thinking and doing business” that extends to the focus of the TEST2 contract:
Innovation with the goal of increasing efficiency and cost effectiveness
Business agility – being adaptive to change and working with our customers to focus efforts where needs are greatest (even as those needs evolve and change)
Green initiatives – in technology and products we use, and the processes we employ
Emphasis on innovative ways to fulfill requirements – becoming “lean and agile”; no longer having a “standing army” that the Government cannot afford to maintain

15. JSC VISION
Lead a global enterprise in human space exploration that is sustainable, affordable,
and benefits all humankind
JSC MISSION
Provide and apply the preeminent capabilities to develop, operate, and integrate human exploration missions spanning commercial, academic, international, and US government partners
Exploit the ISS as a cornerstone of human exploration
Enable commercialization
of LEO
Extend human exploration beyond LEO
Key Points:
After 50 years of spectacular achievement and leadership in human exploration, JSC is at a pivotal point in our history. We needed a clear strategy that continues our leadership role in the next era of human space exploration.
The JSC strategic implementation plan outlines the roadmap for JSC success:
The plan was developed through a collaborative effort of all directorates and senior staff
Is responsive to the current social, political, and budget pressures and emphasizes JSC relevance in terms of broader economic and societal benefit
Provides Center strategy and goals to maintain momentum of sustainable human exploration effort consistent with Agency strategy
Provides the framework for specific detailed Directorate level implementation plans which re-enforce our role in leading Human Spaceflight Exploration in ISS, Commercial Space & MPCV
Leverage ISS experience to lead international community participation
Guide development of Global Exploration Roadmap
Champion international participation in the development of exploration capabilities
Lead through innovative technical and business management practices
Lead by Fully engaging the human spaceflight team
Intertwine JSC in mutually beneficial partnerships
Inform, educate and engage all generations to advance exploration
Strategically communicate JSC’s relevance

16. WSTF Vision and Mission
