NASA Open Government Plan 2010

The principles of Open Government have been embedded in NASA operations for 50 plus years. The NASA Open Government Plan revisits these concepts and strives to create a new level of openness and accountability in the agency's policies, technology, and overall culture.

The NASA Open Government Plan is divided into two main sections. The Framework & Leadership section describes NASA‘s history of openness and outlines our framework for approaching Open Government. This framework is based on: a perspective of continuous learning; integration of policy, technology, and culture; and the rapidly changing external environment. There are also 25 fact sheets in this plan that highlight specific activities at NASA that meet and exceed the requirements of the Open Government Directive. In addition, the plan highlights selected new initiatives that demonstrate how NASA is open and participatory, such as NASA‘s contributions to Data.gov, Open Cloud solutions, and Open Innovation pilots.
