NASA reassigns Venus boffins to save short-staffed asteroid interceptor
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory failed to launch the Psyche asteroid-visiting mission originally scheduled later this year due to an"imbalance between the workload and the available workforce," it admitted in an independent report released late last week.
An independent review board, commissioned by NASA and its Jet Propulsion Laboratory unit, investigated why the $985 million mission was delayed. The reportis publicly available and recommends the space agency hire more staff to work on the project. The board blamed the delay on"institutional issues" at JPL caused by post-pandemic working conditions, which have allowed employees to work from home more.
Top management at JPL must also organize meetings more regularly for the project and figure out its priorities and status, including developing metrics and targets to meet for tracking progress, the report suggests.
