The first American woman in space, a co-founder of a small aerospace company and a retired United States Air Force general are among the members of an independent panel that will review the course of the nation’s human space flight program.

The Obama administration announced last month the creation of the panel that would take a “fresh look” at NASA’s efforts to return to the moon by 2020. The panel will be led by Norman R. Augustine, a former chief executive of the Lockheed Martin Corporation who also led a major review of NASA in 1990.

On Monday, NASA announced the other nine members of the panel:

¶Wanda M. Austin, president and chief executive of the Aerospace Corporation, which provides engineering analysis on the space program for the government. The Aerospace Corporation recently conducted a study looking at whether the Delta IV and Atlas V rockets used to launch military satellites could be adapted to carry NASA astronauts.

¶Bohdan Bejmuk, chairman of a review board overseeing NASA’s development of next-generation rockets, known as the Constellation program. Mr. Bejmuk previously managed Boeing’s involvement in Sea Launch, an ocean platform for launching rockets, and the space shuttle program.
