~ ~ < p > On Monday, the Space Agency announced the closure of three offices: technology, policy and strategy management; Office of the chief scientist; and department of diversity, equality, inclusivity and accessibility. & nbsp; < strong > these abbreviations will directly touch twenty -three agency employees. ~ ~ ~& nbsp; decision is part of the general initiative of the Trump administration aimed at reducing the state apparatus.< p > Acting & Rsquo; NASA Administrator Janet Petro commented on the situation in the letter to the employees:
~ & ldquo; although this will mean making complex adjustments, we consider it as an opportunity to reformat our workforce, guaranteeing that we are doing what is required by law, as well as giving US citizens an effective and effective agency & RDQUO;. < P > This approach reflects a new policy of federal institutions.
< P > Closed units performed important functions in NASA structure. The Technology, Policy and Strategy Office provided the agency's management with analytical and strategic information. The Chief Scientist's office coordinated scientific programs and served as an advisor on scientific issues.
< h2 > Initiatives of the new administration and their influence
< P > These abbreviations resulted in the implementation of the decree on termination & ldquo; radical and wasteful government programs & RDQUO;. They are also part of the implementation of the DOGE Department of Government Efficiency, which aims to optimize federal labor. The abbreviation process is consistent with the overall administration strategy.
< P > Shortly after the January inauguration of President Trump NASA already decided to close offices, prob & Rsquo; rye; This decision corresponded to the Presidential Decree on the release of federal employees who were engaged in diversity and equality. Current liberation continues this policy and expand it to other departments.
< p >NASA is not the only federal agency that is undergoing staff reduction. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (NOAA) plans to release approximately 20% of its employees. This trend indicates a systematic approach to changes in federal structures.
< H2 > Prospects and Potential Consequences < P > The latest abbreviations can signal priorities in US space industry. The current administration seems to prefer the private sector in space activity. Appointment of Commercial Astronaut Jared Iskman for the post of NASA Head confirms this direction.
< p > Ilon Musk, who heads Doge initiative, has repeatedly criticized the bureaucracy in national space programs. It stands for a more aggressive approach, which includes the reduction of federal structures. This position affects the formation of a new policy on space research.
< P > is concerned about the possible impact of abbreviations on NASA scientific activity, especially in the field of climate research. Space Agency traditionally plays a key role in learning climate change, but the new administration can review the priority of this research area.
< p > Current reductions are probably only the first stage of large -scale changes in NASA structure and activity. Experts predict that this period can be particularly difficult for the agency, which for decades has been a symbol of US scientific progress in the space industry.
