NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman has announced a comprehensive organizational restructuring designed to enhance operational efficiency and accelerate the achievement of strategic lunar and orbital objectives.

NASA 局長 Jared Isaacman 宣布了一項全面的組織重組，旨在提高運作效率，並加速達成月球與軌道戰略目標。

The realignment is predicated on the necessity of synchronizing agency resources with the National Space Policy, specifically the Executive Order Ensuring American Space Superiority. Central to this initiative is the consolidation of six Mission Directorates into four, thereby reducing administrative layers and streamlining the decision-making process for program leaders. The Human Spaceflight Mission Directorate now integrates Space Operations and Exploration Systems Development, while the Research and Technology Mission Directorate merges Aeronautics Research and Space Technology. These entities, along with the unchanged Science and Mission Support Directorates, now report directly to the Administrator. This shift is intended to decouple mission oversight from technical governance, as Associate Administrator Amit Kshatriya has assumed the role of Chief Engineer to ensure technical autonomy.

此次調整是基於將機構資源與國家太空政策同步之必要性，特別是關於確保美國太空優勢的行政命令。此舉的核心是將六個任務總局整合為四個，從而減少行政層級並簡化計畫負責人的決策過程。人類太空飛行任務總局現在整合了太空運作與探索系統開發，而研究與技術任務總局則合併了航空研究與太空技術。這些部門，連同未變動的科學與任務支援總局，現在直接向局長匯報。此舉旨在將任務監督與技術治理脫鉤，因副局長 Amit Kshatriya 已接任首席工程師以確保技術自主權。

Furthermore, the administration is addressing systemic fiscal inefficiencies regarding field centers. Historically, centers have operated under a competitive funding model managed by Mission Directorates, a structure characterized by some internal sources as suboptimal. The new framework establishes baseline operational funding for centers, permitting them to maintain critical infrastructure and workforce capabilities independent of specific mission assignments. In a move to further optimize fiscal returns, NASA intends to introduce competitive bidding for the management of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory upon the expiration of its current contract in 2028, citing the Department of Energy's model for federally funded research and development centers.

此外，管理層正解決外場中心系統性的財政低效問題。歷史上，各中心在由任務總局管理的競爭性資金模式下運作，部分內部人士認為此結構並不理想。新框架為各中心建立了基準運作資金，使其能夠獨立於特定任務分配而維持關鍵基礎設施與人力能力。為了進一步優化財政回報，NASA 打算在 2028 年現有合約到期後，針對噴射推進實驗室（JPL）的管理引入競爭性招標，並參照能源部對聯邦資助研究開發中心的模式。

Personnel adjustments include the appointment of Brian Hughes as Director of the Kennedy Space Center. This selection is attributed to a requirement for leadership with significant political navigation capabilities to manage competing interests among commercial launch providers and federal regulatory bodies. Despite these structural shifts, the Administrator has stated that the realignment will not result in workforce reductions, facility closures, or the cancellation of existing programs.

人事調整包括任命 Brian Hughes 為肯尼迪太空中心主任。此項選擇是基於需要一名具有強大政治周旋能力的領導者，以管理商業發射供應商與聯邦監管機構之間的利益衝突。儘管有這些結構轉變，局長表示此次調整不會導致裁員、關閉設施或取消現有計畫。

NASA has transitioned to a streamlined directorate structure and a modified funding model for field centers to prioritize the Artemis program and nuclear space propulsion development.

NASA 已轉型為精簡的總局結構並修改外場中心的資金模式，以優先推動阿提米絲計畫與核動力太空推進開發。
