Outcomes of 2023 Adapting Mission Assurance Workshop
Aerospace and NASA co-sponsored the second annual Adapting Mission Assurance (AMA) mini-conference to bring industry and government mission assurance experts together to discuss the approach to mission assurance for a rapidly changing space domain. Experts developed “calls to action” to focus efforts. Learn more about some of the key takeaways here.
