UM space center records investigated. NASA Office of Inspector General investigates the Northern Rockies Center for Space Privatization and the Inland Northwest Space Alliance

Investigators with the NASA Office of Inspector General spent last week at the University of Montana requesting and examining financial records associated with UM’s beleaguered, NASA-funded Northern Rockies Center for Space Privatization and the startup business it created, the Inland Northwest Space Alliance.

The investigators, who work for the federal government and are independent of NASA, were tight-lipped about the visit and did not explain details of what they were looking into or what they were looking for, said Dan Dwyer, UM’s vice president for research.
