Flight Projects Directorate (Code 400)

The FPD is responsible for the "enabling" of Earth and Space Science, and Exploration. We utilize an integrated approach - scientists, engineering, safety and mission assurance and mission management - to enable us to take on and accomplish the most challenging of assignments. The overarching principle of the FPD: define the problem that needs to be solved and demonstrate that the course of action being pursued contributes directly to the solution.
