Δ-DOR navigation has been used by number of NASA planetary missions. Other space agencies have also used the technique, on missions such as: ESA used a Δ-DOR system for Venus Express' orbit insertion in April 2006 and to Rosetta's Mars swingby in February 2007. The technique was also used in guiding the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter during its ...

Formal Requirements Elicitation Tool (FRET) is a requirements engineering tool. It was developed by the NASA Ames Research Center to specify complex safety-critical systems whose failure could result in loss of life, significant property damage, or environmental harm. [3] FRET is open-source software released under the NASA Open Source ...
Garrett Reisman, a former NASA astronaut who is now a SpaceX senior adviser, also applauded the selection, calling Isaacman an “excellent choice” who will “push NASA to go further and faster.”
