KSC Sustainability
NASA’s sustainability policy is to execute the agency’s mission without compromising our planet’s resources so that future generations can meet their needs. This also means taking action now to provide a future where the environment and living conditions are protected and enhanced. In implementing sustainability practices, NASA manages risks to mission, the environment and to our communities. To this end, NASA seeks to use public funds efficiently and effectively, promote the health of the planet, and operate in a way that benefits our neighbors.
