NRC Report on NASA Aeronautics Activities Released
By Keith Cowing on March 15, 2012
NASA Should Phase Out Lower-Priority
Aeronautics Activities, Focus on Higher Risk,
Higher Payoff Projects
"At a time when NASA's aeronautics funding is
at a historic low, the agency needs to restart its
highly successful flight research program, rather
than devote most of its efforts to small-scale
research, says a new report from the National
Research Council. To accomplish this, the
agency should phase out lower-priority
aeronautics activities and select two to five
programs with the greatest potential."
