National Aeronautics and Space Administration CONFERENCE GUIDE March 18–19, 2021 TABLE OF CONTENTS Overview . 3 Welcome . 4 NASA STEM Engagement Projects . 5 Program Agenda . 7 On-Demand Content . 9 Session Descriptions . 11 Speaker Bios . 22 Exhibit and Poster Halls . 27 Navigating the Virtual Conference . 28 On behalf of the NASA STEM Better Together Conference Planning Team, we express our sincere appreciation for your attendance . Please feel free to reach out to our team at any point throughout the conference for assistance at HQ-STEM-Engagement@mail .nasa .gov During the conference, reach out to stemtogether2@getvfairs .io for technical assistance regarding the platform or accessing the sessions . NASA’s journeys have propelled technological breakthroughs, pushed the frontiers of scientific research, and expanded our understanding of the universe . These accomplishments, and those to come, share a common genesis: education in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) . The Office of STEM Engagement (OSTEM) delivers tools for young Americans and educators to learn and succeed . We seek to: • Create unique opportunities for a diverse set of students to contribute to NASA’s work in exploration and discovery . • Build a diverse future STEM workforce by engaging students in authentic learning experiences with NASA’s people, content, and facilities . • Attract diverse groups of students to STEM through learning opportunities that spark interest and provide connections to NASA’s mission and work . To achieve these goals, OSTEM strives to increase K-12 involvement in NASA projects, enhance higher education, support underrepresented communities, strengthen online education, and boost NASA’s contribution to informal education . The intended outcome is a generation prepared to code, calculate, design, and discover its way to a new era of American innovation .

On behalf of the Office of STEM Engagement, thank you for attending the NASA STEM: Better Together for Stakeholder Success virtual conference, taking place March 18-19, 2021 . We are excited to have you join us as we explore best practices in engaging students in STEM through topical discussions and briefings with NASA experts, staffed poster sessions, an interactive virtual exhibit hall and more. Over the next two days, more than 1,500 stakeholders, partners, and other NASA OSTEM grantees – including those from Space Grant, MUREP, Next Gen STEM, and EPSCoR – will have a chance to interact and learn from one another . The purpose of the conference for our grantees is three-fold: to connect OSTEM grantees with each other to encourage greater collaboration, to connect grantees to NASA’s technical content and mission, and to facilitate dialogue on broadening participation in STEM . You will have the unique opportunity to: • Hear directly from NASA leadership and technical experts about current and future missions; • Interact directly with NASA technical experts from projects like Artemis Gateway, Commercial WELCOME TO THE CONFERENCE Crew Program, Mars 2020, James Webb Space Telescope, X-Planes and Lunar Technologies; • Learn earn more about OSTEM’s expansive efforts to reach students, as well as support educators and institutions; and • Engage with OSTEM stakeholders to build synergies to carry out NASA’s vision for our next generation of explorers; After our two days together come to an end, we want participants to walk away with meaningful, lasting connections with one another, because we truly are better together . To facilitate this, we have incorporated discussions, designated networking times, and included interactive experiences with posters and booths into the two-day program . During the conference, attendees are encouraged to reach out to others via the virtual platform’s chat function and, after the conference, everyone will have access to the full list of attendee contact information to keep the conversations going long after the Closing Plenary . We can wait to see all of you soon! Sincerely, The NASA STEM Better Together Planning Team 4 Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) EPSCoR establishes partnerships with government, higher education, and industry that are designed to effect sustainable improvements in research infrastructure, research and development capacity and competitiveness in eligible jurisdictions . EPSCoR is directed at those jurisdictions that have not participated equably in competitive research and development activities. Twenty-five states, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the U .S . Virgin Islands and Guam currently participate . Five federal agencies, including NASA, conduct EPSCoR programs .

Their intelligence, diligence and valor led to their selection for the space program and their presence on Columbia; and WHEREAS, today we pause not only to remember this tragedy, but we also pause to honor the achievements of seven exemplary people; and WHEREAS, let us recite the names of the seven astronauts: Rick D. Husband, age forty-five and the commander of Columbia. Commander Husband was a colonel in the United States air force. He was selected as an astronaut in 1994 and prior to this mission had logged two hundred thirty hours in space. His home was Amarillo, Texas; William C. McCool, age forty-one and the pilot for the mission. He was a commander in the United States navy and a former test pilot. Commander McCool became an astronaut in 1996, and this was his first space flight. His home was Lubbock, Texas; Michael P. Anderson, age forty-three and the payload commander for Columbia. Lieutenant Colonel Anderson was an air force man who grew up as the son of an air force man. Selected as an astronaut in 1994, he had previously logged over two hundred eleven hours in space.

  • Gateway Program Acquisition Strategy Overview

    Gateway Program Acquisition Strategy Overview

    70th International Astronautical Congress (IAC), Washington D.C., United States, 21-25 October 2019. Copyright ©2019 by the International Astronautical Federation (IAF). All rights reserved. IAC-19,E3,6,5,x53831 GATEWAY PROGRAM ACQUISITION STRATEGY OVERVIEW Emma Lehnhardta, Christopher Zavrelb, Nicole Herrmannc a National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Johnson Space Center, United States, [email protected] b Stellar Solutions Inc, United States, [email protected] c National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Headquarters, United States, [email protected] Abstract This paper will provide an overview of the acquisition strategy for the Gateway Program. The Gateway will be an outpost orbiting the Moon that provides vital support for a sustainable, long-term human return to the lunar surface, as well as a staging point for further deep space exploration. The Gateway will foster U.S. industry and international partnerships and enable multi-discipline utilization. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) will lead this next step and will serve as the integrator of the spaceflight capabilities and contributions of U.S. commercial partners and international partners to develop the Gateway. The Gateway will be developed in a manner that will also allow future capabilities and collaborations with U.S. Government, private sector companies, and international partners. Gateway is embracing innovation and flexibility; both in system architecture and in procurement approach. The Gateway’s agile acquisition strategy will shape the entire system life cycle, from design and analysis through production, verification, launch, logistics and operations. This strategy will encourage new ways of doing business to accommodate new techniques, technologies and approaches; improving affordability and maximizing Gateway utility.
