This team was formed to carry out research and development on a low-earth orbit oxygen gatherer, consider outsourcing various components and to examine our own team dynamics (from an MBTI perspective). The project's technical emphasis shifted to social research in response the comments of a NASA reviewer who stressed the need for technically credible partners. Visibility and credibility were sought by doing a Delphi study. Brief descriptions of Klinkman's LOXLEO and Demetriades's PROFAC devices were the stimuli in this study.
