This report is based on the Panels 2011 fact-finding and quarterly public meetings; insight visits and meetings; direct observations of NASA operations and decision-making; discussions with NASA management, employees, and contractors; and the Panel members past experiences. In our report we highlight issues on cost, schedule, resources, requirements and acquisition strategy that impact safety. Further, we again note the uncertainty regarding goals and objectives and the need for clarity and constancy of purpose. Importantly, we also acknowledge several of NASAs many accomplishments during calendar year 2011. We observe that transparency, the evolution of a safe and open culture, and key process advances have all significantly improved under NASA Administrator Charles F. Bolden, Jr.s leadership.
