The decision to compete this contract reflects NASA’s commitment to strong stewardship of taxpayer resources and positions Jet Propulsion Laboratory to continue driving world-changing scientific discovery and technological innovation for decades to come.”</span></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The work conducted at JPL remains critically important to the agency, and NASA is committed to maintaining continuity for active and future missions throughout the procurement process.

NASA has initiated the procurement process to compete the contract. Beginning this process now allows the agency sufficient time to conduct a comprehensive competition and award cycle while maintaining continuity for ongoing missions and laboratory operations. </span></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For information about NASA and agency programs, visit: </span></p> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> <table class="layout layout--1-column" style="table-layout: fixed;" width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td class="column column--1 scale stack" style="width: 100%;" align="center" valign="top"> <table class="text text--padding-vertical" width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="table-layout: fixed;"> <tr> <td class="text_content-cell content-padding-horizontal" style="text-align: left;

These changes position the agency to better deliver on the nation’s highest‑priority objectives with speed and efficiency.</p> <p style="margin: 0;"><br></p> <p style="margin: 0;">During the <a href="https://qlwo8rfbb.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001wNEI9enGcNI5fXVpI7Y35xtH6RJ7E4U2q1nctvVW3pC1pMCNTs_17oEYsK1zShqOe3Hzwe4sW4BXOUquEhU-5CmDs6MNKQlVUihuIJxTYSLQqKFaA54cPh-Z8mutqeG462kmTc5Pa4AQvD42k-DMkrq1byC_P9-m&c=G0PNZli1Ltqipy_Twvdy6fFjTO6JiT8Y4Zn3vdWheU196CvHdtyYyg==&ch=Nx0nI3Q1uhdAKhJIbUk_a2bNCaZ3yQZC6NtB8GIzmHiDKgXuJT1uEw==" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: #0b3d91; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Ignition</a> event in late March, NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman and agency leaders outlined the most pressing objectives to deliver on the next chapter of American leadership in space. President Trump's Executive Order Ensuring American Space Superiority, otherwise known as the National Space Policy, directed NASA to focus talent and resources on objectives including accelerating the Artemis program, establishing a Moon Base, developing a nuclear space reactor, igniting the orbital economy, and expanding missions of science and discovery.</p> <p style="margin: 0;"><br></p> <p style="margin: 0;">To support the agency’s ambitious short- and long-term goals, NASA is taking action to increase specialization at centers and integrate mission directorates, elevating delivery of technically excellent work. Some of these actions include:</p> <p style="margin: 0;"><br></p> <ul style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;"> <li>Center directors will continue reporting to Associate Administrator Amit Kshatriya, empowered to foster the unique capabilities of each center, and strengthen investments in infrastructure and the health of their workforce.</li> <li>Mission directorates will now report directly to the administrator, ensuring focus on the mission and enabling them to leverage resources across centers, industry, and international partnerships with greater speed and efficiency.</li> <li>The associate administrator also now serves as NASA chief engineer, reinforcing the agency’s technical backbone and ensuring continuity and autonomy in critical engineering decisions.</li> <li>The agency continues to focus on rebuilding core competencies, insourcing contractors to civil servants where appropriate, strengthening the intern pipeline, and leveraging the agency’s joint recruitment initiative with the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, NASA Force, to build a strong, sustainable workforce for generations to come.</li> </ul> <p style="margin: 0;"><br></p> <p style="margin: 0;">“This initiative reflects NASA’s extreme focus on executing the mission in direct support of the National Space Policy. We are focusing resources on the most pressing objectives only NASA is capable of undertaking and liberating the workforce from unnecessary bureaucracy and obstacles that impede progress. We aim to rebuild competencies and instill a culture that attracts the best and brightest capable of pursuing the most demanding engineering challenges and moving safely and urgently,” said Isaacman. “There will be no reduction in force, no program cancellations, no closures, but we will achieve cost savings through more efficient execution and taking an active role in delivering the outcomes the world has been waiting for from NASA. This is how we deliver on the mission, meet the moment, and continue to make history on behalf of the American people.”</p> <p style="margin: 0;"><br></p> <p style="margin: 0;">Mission directorate realignment is as follows:</p> <p style="margin: 0;"><br></p> <ul style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;"> <li> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Human Spaceflight Mission Directorate (HSMD):</span> With human spaceflight operational to both low Earth orbit and the Moon, the Exploration Systems Development Mission Directorate and Space Operations Mission Directorate will unify as HSMD.</li> <li> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Research and Technology Mission Directorate (RTMD):</span> NASA will integrate the Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate and Space Technology Mission Directorate into the new RTMD.
