An Introduction to SPEARS (Spectrum Education Awareness)
This presentation provides an overview of the SPectrum Education AwaRenesS (SPEARS) initiative developed by the NASA Spectrum Office under HEO/SCaN. SPEARS is a strategic initiative that is comprised of fourteen (14) activities/tasks targeted for various stakeholders within and external to NASA and from the spectrum and non-spectrum communities. These activities will also facilitate fostering partnerships and enhance the regulatory and policy understanding with international spectrum regulators and other space agencies. Further, SPEARS will institute several activities geared to promote spectrum management and to gain the interest of the next and future generations of spectrum managers, through Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) outreach.
