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.

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.
