The Advanced Planning Office at Johnson Space Center has recently started a series of presentations on-site for the JSC community to help NASA civil servants and contractors learn about other perspectives.
I have a very practical problem, and I’d like to get some opinions on it from this crowd. My organization (Flight Dynamics Analysis Branch) at NASA does trajectory design and navigation work and in past years we’ve published end of year reports. Usually, this report is sent out via email (or snail mail) to a particular distribution of individuals who are already connected (in some way) to our branch. After a meeting today, we starting thinking about how we can get this information out to a wider audience. Ultimately, we’d want anyone who thinks “how can I find out what NASA is doing in the area of mission analysis?” to be able to find our end of year report and see what we’re doing.
So we were wondering if there’s an appropriate social networking-type tool (or something else?) that fits this kind of purpose that we can use to get the word out about the work that we do. Any ideas? How do we publish our work in such a way that anyone can find us and learn about what we do?
I thought it was interesting that JSC decided to suspend operations for Tropical Storm Edouard. Yesterday was a blue-sky day, perfectly clear night. Then we had steady but light rain all day today.
How has the 1.5 day hiatus affected your work? Will you be able to accomplish everything you needed to get done this week?
