While the majority of effort during the 2000s involved the continued development of the International Space Station and Space Shuttle programs, Marshall continued to advance the next generation of propulsion systems including those associated with the Ares Program.

On ISS, Marshall gained considerable experience living and working in space developing life support systems and experimental equipment including the Destiny Laboratory, EXPRESS racks and Microgravity Science Glovebox. The center continued its role in understanding our universe and fundamental physics with oversight of Gravity Probe B, Fermi’s Gamma Ray Burst Monitor, and Hinode.
