Heritage Assets: Defined as property, plant and equipment (PP&E) that are generally expected to be preserved indefinitely and are unique for one or more of the following reasons: historical or natural significance; cultural, educational, or artistic importance; or non-collection type heritage assets, such as parks, memorial, monuments, and buildings; or significant architectural characteristics, (e.g., chapels, theaters, etc.).

NASA Artifact: A unique object that documents the history of the science and technology of NASA aeronautics and astronautics programs. Its significance and interest generally stem from its relation to historic flights, programs, activities, or incidents; achievements or improvements in technology; our understanding of the universe; or important or well-known personalities.

Non-traditional Audience: Sector of the general public not normally reached by other NASA technical, scientific, or education programs.

Short-Term Exhibit Loans: Loans for specific timed events will be documented on NF 893, the duration of which is less than one month.

Special Recognition Loan: It is the loan of personal property or artifact awarded by the Administrator for meritorious service, significant acts of valor, or outstanding performance that benefits NASA and the country at large. The property will be returned to NASA upon termination of the award agreement or upon death of the awardee. Loan Form NF 893 will be used to document the loan. It will provide terms and conditions of the loan and instructions for return of the property at the conclusion of the loan term. If the awardee is the Administrator, then the Deputy AA for the Office of Communications shall make the recommendation with approval by the Director, Logistics Management Division.

Technical/Professional Audience: Scientists, engineers, mathematicians, technical or career professional attendees who are the primary, targeted attendees at an event.

Underserved Communities: Sectors of the general public not normally reached by other NASA outreach or educational programs due to geographic, ethnic, or socioeconomic conditions.
