NASA's New Focus

In a move designed to align the agency with the new exploration agenda outlined yesterday by President George W. Bush, NASA Deputy Administrator Frederick D. Gregory announced a comprehensive restructuring of the offices within Headquarters in Washington. The restructuring creates a new Office of Exploration Systems and an Office of Aeronautics. Exploration Systems will set priorities for space vehicle research and direct the identification, development and validation of space flight systems, including the newly proposed "crew exploration vehicle."
