The NASA Advisory Council provides the NASA Administrator with counsel and advice on programs and issues of importance to the Agency. The Council consists of six committees, Aeronautics, Audit and Finance, Exploration, Human Capital, Science, and Space Operations. Each committee conducts fact-finding sessions throughout the year in an effort to gain a broad understanding of current NASA issues and future mission implementation plans. The committees then bring this information to the full Council in order that specific recommendations may be prepared.

The Council deliberates on topics raised by each committee in public sessions and presents any findings and recommendations to the NASA Administrator on a quarterly basis.
