scope:

PURPOSE

To implement policy established by NPD 1387.1 and to establish a Center-specific process to meet NPR 1387.1 requirements for MSFC civil servants and contractors to create and display exhibits produced at MSFC for viewing by the general public especially in relation to other MSFC outreach programs and potential exhibit support functions (i.e., institutional graphics, visitor center displays, technical exhibits and events logistics). MSFC's Public and Employee Communications Office (CS20), Office of Strategic Analysis and Communications (OSAC), monitors MSFC's exhibits presented to these audiences and maintains the Center's official art, model, artifact and institutional exhibit hardware inventory.

APPLICABILITY

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

b. This MPR applies to the Michoud Assembly Facility.

c. This MPR applies to the following: all mandatory actions (i.e., requirements) are denoted by statements containing the term "shall." The terms: "may" or "can" denote discretionary privilege or permission; "should" denotes a good practice and is recommended, but not required; "will" denotes expected outcome; and "are/is" denotes descriptive material.

d. This MPR applies the following: all document citations are assumed to be the latest version unless otherwise noted."

e. This MPR applies to all exhibits presented by MSFC or its assigned projects and programs that are directed to a general and/or public audience. It 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.
