While several NRC studies have considered aspects of PI-led missions in the course of other studies for NASA, issues facing the PI-led missions in general have not been subject to much analysis in those studies. Nevertheless, these issues are raising increasingly important questions for NASA, and it requested the NRC to explore them as they currently affect PI-led missions. Among the issues NASA asked to have examined were those concerning cost and scheduling, the selection process, relationships among PI-led team members, and opportunities for knowledge transfer to new PIs. This report provides a discussion of the evolution and current status of the PIled mission concept, the ways in which certain practices have affected its performance, and the steps that can carry it successfully into the future. The study was done in collaboration with the National Academy of Public Administration.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e National Research Council,Division on Engineering and Physical Sci,Space Studies Board\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0309100704\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780309100700\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e National Academies Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/22\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 132\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.92h x 8.43w x 0.30d","brand":"National Research Council","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447633391871,"sku":"9780309100700","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_93bd2d79-eaa5-44e0-a49c-7fe9e9d01a76.jpg?v=1777233996","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/principal-investigator-led-missions-in-the-space-national-research-council-9780309100700","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
