At the request of the Chairman and Ranking Minority Member, Subcommittee on Space and Aeronautics, House Committee on Science, GAO assessed whether NASA has adequate mechanisms in place to ensure that past lessons learned from mission failures are being applied. Specifically, GAO (1) identified the policies, procedures, and systems NASA has in place for lessons learning, (2) assessed how effectively these policies, procedures, and systems facilitate lessons learning, and (3) determined whether further efforts are needed to improve lessons learning. NASA's procedures and guidelines require that program and project managers review and apply lessons learned from the past throughout a programs or projects life cycle and to document and submit any significant lessons to the agencys Lessons Learned Information System (LLIS) in a timely manner.
