• Teamwork: NASA strives to ensure that the Agency’s workforce functions safely at the highest levels of physical and mental well-being. NASA’s most powerful tool for achieving mission success is a multi-disciplinary team of competent
  people. The Agency builds and values high-performing teams that are committed to continuous learning, trust, and openness to innovation and new ideas.
• Integrity: NASA is committed to maintaining an environment of trust built upon honesty, ethical behavior, respect, and candor. Building trust through ethical conduct as individuals and as an organization is a necessary component of mission success.
• Mission Success: NASA’s purpose is to conduct successful space missions on behalf of the Nation and to explore, discover, and learn. Every NASA employee believes that mission success is the natural consequence of an uncompromising commitment to technical excellence, safety, teamwork, and integrity.
