Strategic Goals
NASA Agency
Marshall Space Flight Center
Extend and sustain human activities across the solar
system.
Develop and operate integrated vehicles and systems to
enable human space activities.
Expand scientific understanding of the Earth and the
universe in which we live.
Develop, integrate, and operate instruments and conduct
research to expand knowledge of the universe.
Create innovative new space technologies for our
exploration, science, and economic future.
Develop, test, and mature new space technologies to
enable NASA missions and benefit the Nation.
Advance aeronautics research for societal benefit.
Marshall does not programmatically support aeronautics.
Enable program and institutional capabilities to
conduct NASA’s aeronautics and space activities.
Provide and manage program, project, and institutional
capabilities to conduct NASA’s and Marshall’s space
activities.
Share NASA with the public, educators, and
students to provide opportunities to participate in
our mission, foster innovation, and contribute to a
strong economy.
Share NASA and Marshall with the public, educators, and
students to foster communication, participation, and
innovation to benefit the interests of the Nation.
Marshall’s work aligns with five of the six agency strategic goals.

Focus on Partnerships
Center Strategic Development (CSD) – Sets Strategy
•
Strategically determines what partnerships are most beneficial to Marshall and best support our
core competencies and communicates this information back to the Partnerships Office
•
Helps the Partnership Office to identify stakeholders and opportunities to engage.
•
Focused on:
• Rebuilding the center’s capability to propose and capture new work.
• Evaluating new opportunities and providing information to management to help determine
if the new work we go after supports our core capabilities
• Helping develop long-term plans to get us where we want to be by the end of the decade
Partnerships Office – Implementation
•
Provides a single entry point for Marshall’s external customers such as industry, academia, DoD,
other NASA centers, nonprofits, and international partners who want to partner with Marshall
and utilize our skills and capabilities.
•
Will facilitate getting partners what they need and coordinating with the right people in the center
or across the agency.
