Abstract

This report addresses the major performance and accountability challenges facing the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) as it seeks to advance human exploration and development of space, advance and communicate scientific knowledge, and research and develop aeronautics and space technologies. It includes a summary of actions that NASA has taken and that are under way to address these challenges. It also outlines further actions that GAO believes are needed.
