The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine is seeking suggestions for experts to be considered for the membership rotation or other engagement with the Aeronautics and Space Engineering Board (ASEB). The ASEB was established in 1967 "to focus talents and energies of the engineering community on significant aerospace policies and programs." In undertaking its responsibility, the ASEB oversees ad hoc committees that recommend priorities and procedures for achieving aerospace engineering objectives, and offers a way to bring engineering and other related expertise to bear on aerospace issues of national importance. Among these issues are: research and development aspects of the National Air Transportation System; NASA's aeronautics research program; national aeronautics R&D policy and its implementation; space policy and programs, with a focus on human spaceflight and space operations; commercial space activities; and other aerospace engineering topics. Using these suggestions, National Academies staff will seek to fill three open seats on the committee of approximately 15 volunteer experts and collect information for potential speakers, participants, and other forms of engagement. Based on the Statement of Task and the continuing membership of the committee, staff is looking for individuals with expertise in the following areas, but other suggestions are welcome.
- Aeronautics, Aerodynamics, and Aviation Propulsion
- Science/Technology Policy and Economics
