Book excerpt: NASA's approach to continual improvement (CI) is a systems-oriented, agency-wide approach that builds on the past accomplishments of NASA Headquarters and its field installations and helps achieve NASA's vision, mission, and values. The NASA of the future will fully use the principles of continual improvement in every aspect of its operations. This NASA CI plan defines a systematic approach and a model for continual improvement throughout NASA, stressing systems integration and optimization. It demonstrates NASA's constancy of purpose for improvement - a consistent vision of NASA as a worldwide leader in top-quality science, technology, and management practices. The CI plan provides the rationale, structures, methods, and steps, and it defines NASA's short term (1-year) objectives for improvement. The CI plan presents the deployment strategies necessary for cascading the goals and objectives throughout the agency. It also provides guidance on implementing continual improvement with participation from top leadership and all levels of employees. Unspecified Center...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: U.S. public activities in space directed via NASA are undergoing change. While NASA has historically been able to drive market creation, through its procurement policy (which is much weaker in Europe), the past decade has seen a visible shift in US space policy, away from NASA-directed developments in low-Earth orbit (LEO) towards an ecosystem with a mix of private, not-for-profit, and public actors in LEO. This has fundamentally changed NASA's role from an orchestrating/directing role, to a more 'facilitating' one driven by commercialization needs. This shift in mission and approach has ramifications for the LEO ecosystem as well as NASA's innovation policy, which has previously centred on clearly defined “mission-oriented” objectives, such as putting a man on the moon or creating the shuttle fleet. Such objectives required 'active' innovation policy whereby NASA both funded and 'directed' the innovation, within its walls and with its partners. The emerging multi-actor ecosystem approach has involved a more open-ended objective that does not have a unified nor clearly defined end-game. In this situation, NASA's ability to shape activities in a direction in line with its mission will depend on its relationships with other members in the system. The rise of new actors in the space eco-system, and new relationships between them, presents interesting challenges for innovation policy informed by an Innovation System approach. In this paper, we critique the market failure approach of public intervention in markets and describe further work to be done in the innovation systems literature - more focus on the interactions between agents (and the type of agents) as complimentary to the dominant focus on funding programmes in innovation systems. In this paper, we present the evolving processes of NASA's engagement in building a low-earth orbit economy to draw out case specific insights into a public agency shifting its mission to incorporate approaches to facilitate the market creation policy. The paper focuses on the way that NASA structures its new innovation policy, away from a classical supply side oriented R&D investment through NASA itself, towards a policy of orchestration and combination of instruments rather. We close the paper with a reflection on the ramifications of NASA's approach to building a sustainable low-Earth orbit economic ecosystem.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since NASA's inception in 1958, the Agency has been charged with ensuring its research and development activities can be shared and applied beyond the space community. NASA spinoffs are one result. These are the technologies and products the Agency has success¬fully shared with industry, which in turn has developed and refined them for many benefits, including medical advances, a cleaner environment, safer households, and more convenience in our daily lives. NASA is always finding ways to bring the benefits of space exploration back to Earth. You will find NASA in the average household in many ways. It might not be obvious that the air purifier in a refrigerator or a hand-held cordless vacuum came about as a result of space missions, but they did. In fact, NASA's research and development has had a major and positive impact on public welfare. Technologies we can trace to the earliest days of the Space Program have improved water purification systems. NASA inno¬vations have brought us advanced home insulation and fire-resistant fabrics used by firefighters and soldiers. NASA technology can even be found in infant formula and modern semi truck design. The list is expansive. As a Nation, we have received a significant return on our investment in space, and we have advanced our capabili¬ties in many areas thanks to this ongoing flow of NASA ideas and technology. NASA defines a spinoff as a commercially available product, service, or process that takes NASA-related technology and brings it to a broader audience. While the original purposes were mission-related, the technologies now are filling needs in everyday life. From robotics-based nutrition programs to better swimsuits and other sports equipment, NASA innovation has advanced our standard of living. Since 1976, NASA has been documenting these spinoffs. It is an interesting and varied history. We are pleased to present to you this annual report on our latest innovations and ways we are inspiring people beyond our science and exploration missions. We see it this way: NASA provides a spark of inspira¬tion, a seed of technology, and then industry carries the ball forward and transforms it into something the general public can use. Water purification technology origi¬nally developed for the International Space Station, for instance, can bring clean water to people in remote areas where there is none. The things we learn in the coming decade on the station and in the development of new systems for reaching deep space will have far-reaching benefits. In this sense, spinoffs are representative of the new era of global exploration. The new age of exploration will require innova¬tive and robust technology development. NASA will continue to pursue fresh innovations and partnerships, and the Agency's renewed commitment to research and development will bring benefits to people everywhere in the decades to come. We truly can make life better for everyone on the planet.

Book excerpt: Natural landscapes are intricately tied to human health and well-being. While contemporary lifestyles have caused people to feel disconnected from the natural environment, this relationship is now recognized as vitally important, with landscapes increasingly valued for their stress-reduction, aesthetic, and restorative benefits. Providing an overview of the history, theoretical concepts, and individual and societal implications of human connection to natural landscapes, this book considers natural landscapes' role as an antidote to our modern, predominantly urban society.
