SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This collection of information supports the National Aeronautics
and Space Act of 1958, as amended, to create opportunities to improve
processes associated with the evaluation and selection of individuals
to participate in the NASA Astronaut Candidate Selection Program. The
NASA Astronaut Selection Office (ASO) located at the Lyndon B. Johnson
Space Center (JSC) in Houston, Texas is responsible for selecting
astronauts for the various United States Space Exploration programs. In
evaluating an applicant for the Astronaut Candidate Program, it is
important that the ASO have the benefit of qualitative and quantitative
information and recommendations from persons who have been directly
associated with the applicant over the course of their career.
This information will be used by the NASA ASO and Human Resources
(HR) personnel, during the candidate selection process (approx. 2-year
duration), to gain insight into the candidates' work ethic and
professionalism as demonstrated in previous related employment
activities. Respondents may include the astronaut candidate's previous
employer(s)/direct-reporting manager, as well as co-workers and other
references provided by the candidate.
