PURPOSE

This Marshall Procedural Requirements (MPR) provides the process required of Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) civil servants and contractors for creating and showing exhibits produced at MSFC for viewing by the general public. Marshall's Public and Employee Communications Office (CS20), Office of Strategic Communications, has been tasked to monitor Marshall's exhibits presented to these audiences and maintain the Center's official model, artifact and institutional exhibit hardware inventory. This MPR does not apply to program and project technical exhibits and is not intended to prohibit offices, programs and projects from creating and operating appropriate exhibits to technical audiences on their own.

The purpose of this MPR is to explain the MSFC exhibits policy, especially its relation to other MSFC outreach programs and potential exhibit support functions such as institutional graphics and events logistics.

APPLICABILITY

This MPR applies to the personnel, programs, projects, and activities at MSFC and MSFC's Michoud Assembly Facility (MAF), including contractors and resident agencies to the extent specified in their respective contracts or agreements. ("Contractors," for purposes of this paragraph, include contractors, grantees, Cooperative Agreement recipients, Space Act Agreement partners, or other agreement parties.)

This MPR applies to all exhibits presented by the Marshall Center or its assigned projects and programs that are directed to a general and/or public audience.
