An investigation into when it was first recognized that there was a deficiency in NASA optical metrology oversight capability, why this deficiency existed unnoticed for so long, and a proposal for correcting the problem is presented. It is explained why this optical metrology oversight is so critical to program success and at the same time, why it is difficult to establish due to the nature of the technology. The solution proposed is the establishment of an Optics Metrology Group within the NASA/MSFC Optics Branch with a line of authority from NASA S & MA.
