JSC 2.0

The purpose of JSC 2.0 is to:

Advance human spaceflightby being lean, agile andadaptive to change.

Only by doing that, will we make possible future exploration missions leading to a mission to Mars. And possible, not just because we solve many exciting technical and operational challenges, but because we figured out how to do it in a way that::

• Fits a budget that the Administration and Congress are willing to provide,• Makes best use of every person we have,• Leads to smart decisions about roles for commercial and international

partners, and • Engages the public.

JSC 2.0All of the aforementioned translate into a “new way of thinking and doing business” that extends to the focus of the TEST2 contract:

• Innovation with the goal of increasing efficiency and cost effectiveness

• Business agility – being adaptive to change and working with our customers to focus efforts where needs are greatest (even as those needs evolve and change)

• Green initiatives – in technology and products we use, and the processes we employ

• Emphasis on innovative ways to fulfill requirements – becoming “lean and agile”; no longer having a “standing army” that the Government cannot afford to maintain 14

JSC VISIONJSC VISION Lead a global enterprise in human space exploration that is sustainable, affordable, Lead a global enterprise in human space exploration that is sustainable, affordable, and benefits all humankindand benefits all humankind

JSC MISSION JSC MISSION Provide and apply the preeminent capabilities to develop, operate, and integrate human Provide and apply the preeminent capabilities to develop, operate, and integrate human exploration missions spanning commercial, academic, international, and US government exploration missions spanning commercial, academic, international, and US government partnerspartners
