Aerospace Safety Advisory Panel Archve

Overview

The 2006 ASAP Annual Report
	"Through its efforts, the ASAP developed insights into aspects of NASA operations such as technical authority, workforce, safety culture and risk management. In these and other areas, the ASAP recognized NASA’s safety achievements in 2006, but the Panel also identified further, vital measures that are needed to ensure the Agency’s continued commitment to the highest safety standards. As detailed in the enclosed report, it is a particular challenge to maintain those standards in this time of program transition and budget constraints."
