Outcome 6.4: Information, Engagement & Inspiration

Inform, engage, and inspire the public by sharing NASA's missions, challenges, and results.

Other Information:

The opportunities and means for sharing information have increased tremendously with the Internet and other new technologies. For scientific and programmatic announcements, we will continue traditional communications activities such as issuing press releases, hosting media events, and providing photographs and videos of our missions and events. We will continue to grow NASA Television and the www.nasa.gov Web site to offer a variety of formats, content, and activities to communicate with specific audiences. The popularity of social media and networking offers new means of reaching and communicating with diverse audiences. Interactive experiences with our astronauts, scientists, and engineers, through an online presence and other outreach events are well-suited for engaging the public and students. We share the direct results of our missions by releasing our scientific data to researchers and other Government agencies. We contribute our data to online portals such as www.data.gov, allowing its use by anyone with the capability to access the data. NASA Web sites host a wealth of mission and program information, and we participate fully in Administration initiatives for transparency by providing specific program and project information through information- sharing portals. We are continually exploring new tools, techniques, and capabilities to reach the public and ways in which to inform the media on the activities of the Agency. Our goal is to share the results and challenges of our missions with the public to inspire them and increase their knowledge and awareness of NASA's work.
