Mission Maximize the value of the ISS to the nation by developing and managing a • diversified R&D portfolio and by using the ISS as a venue for Science diversified R&D portfolio and by using the ISS as a venue for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) educational activities. Stimulate, develop and manage the U.S. National Lab utilization of the ISS • by other U.S. government agencies, academic institutions and private firms. Develop tools and techniques to communicate the value of uses of the ISS • National Lab and increase the return on the U.S. investment in the ISS. 2
