Optimizing Science and Exploration
Welcome to the Optimizing Science and Exploration Working Group (OSEWG)
OSEWG is jointly chaired by NASA’s Exploration Systems Mission Directorate (ESMD) and Science Mission Directorate (SMD), and was created in March 2007. It is expected that as NASA advances its exploration goals, the OSEWG and its charter may also transform. The charter captures the Vision, Mission, and Goals of the OSEWG.
VISION: “Where are we going?”
OSEWG is recognized as the managing entity for collaboration and communication between and among the ESMD, SMD, Space Operations Mission Directorate (SOMD), the NASA science community, and associated partners, to achieve NASA's science and exploration goals.
MISSION: “Our reason for being”
OSEWG synthesizes, bridges, and communicates the exploration science objectives and goals of ESMD, SMD, SOMD, and exploration science partners.
