9、management philosophy at NASA reflects NASAs core values of Safety,Teamwork, Integrity, and Mission Success. All organizational elements and employees of NASAshall adhere to these core values, which are repeated here for emphasis: a. Safety - NASAs constant attention to safety is the cornerstone upo

10、n which we build missionsuccess. The Agency is committed, individually and as a team, to protecting the safety and health ofthe public, its team members, and those assets that the Nation entrusts to it. b. Teamwork - NASAs most powerful tool for achieving mission success is a multi-disciplinaryteam

11、of competent people. The Agency will build high-performing teams that are committed tocontinual learning, trust, and openness to innovation and new ideas. c. Integrity - NASA is committed to an environment of trust built upon honesty, ethical behavior,respect, and candor. Building trust through ethi

12、cal conduct as individuals and as an organization is anecessary component of mission success. d. Mission Success - NASAs reason for being is to conduct successful space missions on behalf ofthis Nation. It undertakes missions to explore, discover, and learn. Mission success is the naturalconsequence

13、 of an uncompromising commitment to safety, teamwork, and integrity. 1.3 Document Structure1.3.1 This document is organized as follows: Chapter 2 defines NASA life cycles for managingR Chapter 3 defines the requirements for R Chapter 4 provides TechnologyDevelopment (TD) Project requirements; and Ch
