During and before the Apollo program years at NASA, it was the primary government
organization involved in all space technology decisions. Since the Space Shuttle Program,
NASA has been reinvented. It transformed from a closed system with a hierarchy that develops
its technologies internally, to an open and collaborative network that promotes innovation and
collaboration with other public and private organizations. NASA has become more
interdependent.
