![]() The Kimberly-Clark RightCycle Program Team reduced waste by replacing personal protective equipment (PPE) with recyclable products throughout Jacobs’ Test and Operations Support Contract (TOSC) facilities wherever possible, reducing waste disposal costs. “It was an amazing project on a personal level to get to learn and engage with so many people, but also from a center level perspective – getting to understand the functions that everyone holds and how they work together to make this such a successful spaceport,” Taylor said. During the effort, Taylor engaged with about 120 people for feedback. The team comprises more than 35 members, including NASA civil servants and contractors, as well as Florida Power and Light employees. “It also allows the programs to invest in their own facilities in a way that doesn’t impact their budget, as well as reducing their long-term utility expenses.” “The UESC provides a win-win alternative where we can meet our energy and water conversation metrics and goals for the center and the agency,” said Launch Services Program Facility Operations and Maintenance Coordinator Cory Taylor, who works in the Spaceport Integration and Services (SI) directorate. Sustainability is a critical part of NASA’s current and future goals – at Kennedy and throughout the agency. The effort, which uses the concept of financing and then paying it off through the savings, will result in $1.4 million in annual savings for NASA. ![]() The Phase 1 UESC Award Team’s project bundles a diverse mixture of energy conservation measures to provide energy savings, resiliency, and efficiency two-megawatt solar farm, water fixtures, transformers, internal lighting, street and parking lot lighting, boilers, chillers, and other mechanical-related improvements. The Phase 1 Utility Energy Service Contract (UESC) Award Team won in the Building Efficiency/Performance Contracts category, the Kimberly-Clark RightCycle Program Team was selected in the Waste Management category, and the Sustainable Acquisition Reporting Team earned an award in the Sustainable Acquisition category. Three teams at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida earned Fiscal Year 2021 Sustainable Environment Awareness (SEA) Awards and will be recognized during the upcoming 2022 KSC Honor Awards Ceremony this spring. ![]() The teams will be honored during the KSC Honor Awards Ceremony this spring. The board released its findings last November and a review of NASA and JPL’s response in an update released May 30.Ĭhanges made since the delay include reorganization of the JPL workforce and improving senior management oversight of the mission.The Test and Operations Support Contract (TOSC) Kimberly-Clark RightCycle program team is one of three teams at Kennedy Space Center to receive a Fiscal Year 2021 Sustainable Environment Awareness Award. ![]() The review board targeted both issues with Psyche probe team and the JPL based at Caltech as a whole that it said contributed to the delay. Launch costs to use the Falcon Heavy were separate. Before the delay, the mission cost had topped $850 million for the development, operation and science. 5-23 and the probe itself has been in Florida since last April, but additional work was required to make it ready that forced it to miss the 2022 launch opportunities. But because it missed the launch window last year, this year’s launch, if it goes well, means it won’t arrive at the asteroid until 2029. Psyche was supposed to launch last summer so that it could rendezvous with a metal-rich asteroid also named Psyche that lies between Mars and Jupiter in 2026. ![]()
