Workforce Transition Strategy: Initial Report. Space Shuttle and Constellation Workforce Focus

The transition from Space Shuttle to Constellation over the next few years provides a rare opportunity to reinvigorate the Nation's space exploration capabilities. During that time, NASA's greatest challenge and top priority will be to safely fly out the Space Shuttle manifest, complete assembly of the International Space Station (ISS), and honor commitments to our international partners prior to retiring the Shuttle in 2010, all while developing the new Constellation space systems and preparing them for flight as soon as possible after the Shuttles last mission.
