NASA Appoints New Space Technology Chief

NASA has appointed a new Space Technology Chief, Dr. Maria Zuber, to lead the agency's technology development and innovation efforts. Dr. Zuber brings a wealth of experience in space exploration and technology to the role, having previously served as the Director of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's (MIT) Space Systems Laboratory. In her new position, she will be responsible for overseeing the development of new technologies that will enable NASA to achieve its goals in space exploration, including the Artemis program, which aims to return humans to the lunar surface by 2024.

Dr. Zuber's appointment is a significant one, as NASA continues to face challenges in its technology development efforts. The agency has faced criticism in recent years for delays and cost overruns in its space exploration programs, and Dr. Zuber's expertise is expected to help address these issues. In her new role, she will be responsible for managing NASA's technology development portfolio, including the development of new spacecraft, propulsion systems, and other technologies.
