4、very facet of the program. The program recognizes the concerns that downsizing may raise, and it will assure that knowledgeable and skilled individuals are assigned to all critical Shuttle functions, including those being downsized. The plans for the transition of processes and tasks under the SFOC
5、specifically address the safety implications of the transition. As an added assurance, the Shuttle program has required that the NASA Safety and Mission Assurance (SMA) organizations review and concur on the transition plans. Other program downsizing efforts have a similar emphasis on safety embedde
