The NASA Safety Center (NSC) was established in October 2006 to support the safety and mission assurance requirements of NASA's portfolio of programs and projects.
Focused on improving the development of personnel, processes and tools needed for the safe and successful achievement of NASA's strategic goals, the NSC is comprised of four functional offices: Technical Excellence, Knowledge Management Systems, Audits and Assessments, and Mishap Investigation Support.
