NASA Announces New Headquarters Management Alignment

NASA announces an agency realignment in concert with Bush's new space initiative. NASA has created a new Code T office which will be responsible for the new Crew Exploration Vehicle and other technology development.

The office will be headed by retired U.S. Navy Admiral Craig E. Steidle, who formerly oversaw the Joint Strike Fighter program.

"The Office of Exploration Systems is established to set priorities and direct the identification, development, and validation of exploration systems and related technologies. Users and technologists will work together to enable a balancing of factors between requirements, program schedules and costs."
