Case Study: WFIRST Advocacy
Challenge
Although the Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope is the next major NASA flagship mission for universe exploration, it continues to have its funding cut in the annual Presidential Budget Proposal. We needed to inform the greater space science community about the importance of this mission and gain their support in keeping it funded.
solution
Work in unison with mission partners, coalition members, and industry professionals to create content that educates and incites the audience to advocate for the WFIRST mission. We developed a collection of informational content about the mission and its benefits, including a thought leadership video that featured the greatest minds in space science. The mission continues to regain funding each year despite its challenges and is set to launch in 2025.
