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.
