Description:
|
This project, a cooperative effort implemented by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the Expert and Citizen Assessment of Science and Technology (ECAST) network, provided a citizen-focused, participatory technology assessment of NASAs Asteroid Initiative that increased public understanding of and engagement in the Initiative. The project had two main goals. The first was to develop and apply a participatory technology assessment that elicited nuanced information from a diverse group of citizens whose insights would not otherwise be available to decision makers. Second, through informed, structured feedback from citizens in multiple locations, the project aimed to provide public views of the Asteroid Initiative as input into NASAs decision-making process.
