Experts Needed To Confirm/Affirm NASA Goddard Expertise
Keith’s note: According to the National Academies: “The National Academies are seeking suggestions for experts to participate in a new Congressionally mandated consensus study tasked with conducting a high-level assessment of current technical and scientific capabilities housed at Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), what capabilities are positioned to ensure long-term success of the NASA mission—including for future cutting-edge scientific discovery and crewed space exploration—and what facilities are needed to house and operate those capabilities.” More below
The committee will provide a report with findings and recommendations to ensure long-term success of the GSFC and the NASA mission. Based on the Statement of Task, the National Academies are looking for expertise pertaining to NASA’s mission directorates, particularly in the following areas:
development of advanced and emerging technologies
testing and modeling
systems development
space missions
space technology
infrastructure and facilities
human space exploration
science and engineering workforce
The National Academies will use these suggestions to build a committee of approximately 10 volunteer experts as well as identify potential speakers and peer reviewers. We invite you to submit nominations by Friday, April 24, 2026.
