About Us

The Aeronautics and Space Engineering Board (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. The majority of ASEB studies originate with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, particularly the Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate and the Exploration Systems Mission Directorate. Some of these studies are requested by Congress in related legislation. The ASEB also has performed technical and policy studies for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the Defense Nuclear Agency, the Federal Aviation Administration, the National Science Foundation, the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, Air Force Space Command, the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and others.
