Since it was established in 1968, the Aerospace Safety Advisory Panel
(ASAP) has been evaluating NASA’s safety performance and advising
the Agency on ways to improve that performance. The ASAP bases its
advice on direct observation of NASA operations and decision-making. In the aftermath
of the Shuttle Columbia accident, Congress required that the ASAP submit an
annual report to the NASA Administrator and to Congress. The annual report is to
examine NASA’s compliance with the recommendations of the Columbia Accident
Investigation Board (CAIB), as well as NASA’s management and culture related to
safety.
In addition to safety culture, the NASA Administrator, Dr. Michael Griffin,
has specifically requested advice from the ASAP on technical authority, workforce
and risk management.
In accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act, Public Law 92-463, as amended, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration will announce meetings of the Aerospace Safety Advisory Panel on this page.
