In an internal e-mail apparently sent August 18, 2008 to NASA managers and leaked to the press, NASA Administrator Michael Griffin stated his belief that the Bush administration had made no viable plan for U. S. crews to participate in the International Space Station beyond 2011, and that Office of Management and Budget ( OMB ) and Office of Science and Technology Policy ( OSTP ) were actually seeking its demise.

This space engine was designed and built under contract with NASA by the Space Technology Laboratories ( STL ) of TRW.

He was also a consultant to the U. S. Office of Science and Technology Policy, and was a member of the Defense Science Board and the NASA Advisory Council.

According to NASA, " the concept of accessing a significant amount of useful energy from the ZPE gained much credibility when a major article on this topic was recently 1st, 2004 published in Aviation Week & Space Technology, a leading aerospace industry magazine ".

The Jet Propulsion Laboratory ( JPL ) at the California Institute of Technology was an Army research operation at that time, years before NASA.

The National Space Science and Technology Center ( NSSTC ) is a joint research venture between NASA and the seven research universities of the State of Alabama ..

The ROV competition is organized by MATE and the Marine Technology Society's ROV Committee and funded by organizations such as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration ( NASA ), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ( NOAA ), and Oceaneering, and many other organizations that recognize the value of highly trained students with technology skills such as ROV designing, engineering, and piloting.

The Software Assurance Technology Center ( SATC ) is a NASA department founded in 1992 as part of their Systems Reliability and Safety Office at Goddard Space Flight Center.

He was the Principal Investigator ( PI ) on the Spacelab 3 mission NASA Drop Dynamics ( DDM ) experiments, PI on the NASA SPAR Flight Experiment # 77-18 " Dynamics of Liquid Bubble ," PI on the NASA SPAR Flight Experiment # 76-20 " Containerless Processing Technology ," and PI on the Department of Energy Experiment " Spherical Shell Technology.

An earlier project which received some significant planning by NASA included a manned fly-by of Venus in the Manned Venus Flyby mission, but was cancelled when the Apollo Applications Program was terminated due to NASA budget cuts in the late 1960s.

( NASA sought $ 450 million for Apollo Applications in fiscal year 1967, for example, but received $ 42 million.

In the 1980s, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and NASA studied an ICF-powered " Vehicle for Interplanetary Transport Applications " ( VISTA ).

Even before the first Apollo landing, plans were being made by NASA for an Apollo Applications Program ( AAP ).

It again carried the DFI package, as well as the OSTA-l payload – named for the NASA Office of Space and Terrestrial Applications – which consisted of a number of remote-sensing instruments mounted on a Spacelab pallet in the payload bay.

In addition, in its payload bay, Columbia again carried the DFI package, and OSS-l ( named for the NASA Office of Space Science and Applications ) which consisted of a number of instruments mounted on a Spacelab pallet, intended to obtain data on the near-Earth environment and the extent of contamination caused by the orbiter itself.

In 2005, Bobko joined Science Applications International Corporation ( SAIC ) as Program Manager for the NASA Ames Research Center Simulation Laboratories ( SimLabs ) contract.

On loan from MIT to NASA Headquarters as the Senior Scientist for the International Space Station since 2000 ; prior to that, on loan from MIT as the Senior Scientist for the Office of Life and Microgravity Sciences, NASA-HQ, 1998-2000 ; crew training, flight and post-flight activities 1996-1998 ; Lead Scientist of the Microgravity Space and Applications Division since 1985-1996.

He is presently a member of the NASA Advisory Council Life and Biomedical Sciences and Applications Advisory Subcommittee .< ref >

U. S. space station development was instead pursued with the civilian NASA Skylab ( Apollo Applications Program ) which flew in the mid-1970s.

The NASA LOCAD ( Lab-on-a-Chip Applications Development ) project is working on systems to help detect bacterial and fungal growths in spacecraft used for long-duration spaceflight.

The building will be the new home for NOAA's Center for Satellite Applications and Research, Air Resources Laboratory and National Centers for Environmental Prediction and the NOAA / DoD / NASA Joint Center for Satellite Data Assimilation.

The Apollo Applications Program ( AAP ) was established by NASA headquarters in 1968 to develop science-based manned space missions using surplus material from the Apollo program.

Since 2009 Takao Doi, a former Japanese astronaut and a veteran of two NASA space shuttle missions, is chief of Space Applications section of the Office.

After a series of posts as a visiting scientist at the University of Sheffield, and the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center ( 1999 ), and two years as a temporary Reader at the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of St. Andrews ( 2001 – 2002 ) he returned to Greece where he was a tenured researcher at the Institute of Space Applications and Remote Sensing of the National Observatory of Athens.

Following his career at NASA, Eggers took a position as Assistant Director for Research Applications at the National Science Foundation.
