The ASAP was established by Congress in 1968 to provide advice and make recommendations to the NASA Administrator on safety matters. The Panel holds quarterly fact-finding and public meetings and makes one or more insight visits per year to NASA Field Centers or other related sites. It reviews safety studies and operations plans and advises the NASA Administrator and Congress on hazards related to proposed or existing facilities and operations, safety standards and reporting, and NASA management and culture related to safety. Although the Panel may perform other duties and tasks as requested by either the NASA Administrator or Congress, the ASAP members normally do not engage in specialized studies or detailed technical analyses. This report highlights the issues and concerns that were identified or raised by the Panel during its activities over the past year. The Panel recommendations submitted to the Administrator during 2010 are summarized in the Appendix at the end of this report. They are based upon the ASAP quarterly fact-finding meetings and public meetings; insight visits and meetings; direct observations of NASA operations and decision-making; discussions with NASA management, employees, and contractors; and the Panel members expertise.
