One NASA Workshop - Expanding the Knowledge and Understanding of the NASA Vision

The Goddard Space Flight Center will host a special One NASA Workshop on Wednesday, November 19. This is one in a series being held at every NASA Center to expand the knowledge and understanding of the NASA Vision and Mission and introduce employees to key leaders from across the Agency.

This workshop, along with others is one of the early actions to result from the Agency-Wide One NASA effort. One of the findings from the One NASA survey was that Agency strategy must be aligned with working level efforts and that NASA would benefit from more collaboration among centers in strategy implementation. So this meeting is designed to start a process of discussion and information sharing around Agency visions and goals.

The workshop will kick off at 9:00 a.m. in the Building 8 Auditorium with a series of speakers including Bill Readdy, the Associate Administrator for the Office of Space Flight; Roy Bridges, Visiting Center Director from NASA's Langley Research Center; and Johnny Stephenson who chairs the One NASA Implementation Team. They will outline accomplishments and future plans for their Enterprise and Center, and highlight how we all contribute to Enterprise plans and to the Agency's vision with examples of collaboration between Enterprises and Centers.

In observance and in celebration marking a century of flight in 2003, Goddard News features a historical NASA flight tidbits. This Month in History: On November 7, 1958 NASA research pilot John McKay made the last flight in the X-1E, the final model flown of the X-1 series. The various models of the X-1, together with the D-558-I and -II, the X-2 - X-5 and XF-92A provided data to correlate test results from the slotted throat wind tunnel at the Langley Aeronautical Laboratory (now NASA's Langley Research Center) with actual flight values. Together, results of flight research and wind tunnel testing enabled the U.S. aeronautical community to solve many of the problems that occur in the transonic speed range (0.7 to 1.3 times the speed of sound).
