Since Melroy’s induction into the 2023 Wash100 class, she has continued her tireless work to empower innovators and advance NASA’s mission.

In February, the administration launched the NASA Acquisition Innovation Launchpad, a website intended to break down barriers for organizations looking to work with the administration. Upon the announcement, Melroy described the program as a space for anyone looking to test ideas to help NASA “improve life for everyone on the planet.”
