NASA Force represents a focused expansion of that effort, tailored to the unique technical demands of space exploration and aerospace research.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAmerica\u2019s leadership in space depends on extraordinary talent,\u201d said NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman.\u00a0\u201cNASA Force will help us attract the next generation of innovators and technical experts who are ready to solve the toughest challenges in exploration, science, and aerospace technology. This partnership strengthens our workforce and helps ensure the United States remains the global leader in space.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNASA represents the pinnacle of American innovation,\u201d said OPM Director Scott Kupor. \u201cThrough NASA Force, we are ensuring the world\u2019s premier space agency has access to the very best engineers and technologists in the country. If you want to work on the most consequential technical challenges anywhere in the world, this is your call to serve.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The launch of NASA Force builds on the growing momentum of the US Tech Force initiative, which has attracted strong interest from early- and mid-career technologists eager to apply their skills to public service.<\/p>\n<p>Applications will be live soon and those
