For very nearly 20 years, people have lived and worked persistently on board the station, progressing scientific information and showing new advances, making research breakthroughs not possible on Earth that will empower long-term human and robotic investigation into profound space. Flight chiefs likewise will lead forthcoming Artemis missions to the Moon, and in the end the principal human missions to Mars.

They likewise will require generous related, dynamically capable expert experience, including time-basic dynamic involvement with high-stress, high-hazard conditions. Many flight chiefs have recently been NASA flight regulators, however it’s anything but an essential to apply.

NASA will report choices later this fall. The new flight chiefs at that point will get broad preparing on flight control and shuttle frameworks, just as operational authority and risk management.
