  2. Challenges for Deep Space Exploration

  3. Why Invest in Space Technology? Addresses National Needs A generation of studies and reports (40+ since 1980) document the need for regular investment in new, transformative space technologies. • Enables a new class of NASA missions beyond low Earth Orbit. • Delivers innovative solutions that dramatically improve technological capabilities for NASA and the Nation. • Develops technologies and capabilities that make NASA’s missions more affordable and more reliable. • Invests in the economy by creating markets and spurring innovation for traditional and emerging aerospace business. • Engages the brightest minds from academia in solving NASA’s tough technological challenges. Value to NASA Value to the Nation Who: The NASA Workforce Academia Small Businesses The Broader Aerospace Enterprise

  4. Space Technology Portfoliohttp://www.nasa.gov/directorates/spacetech/home/index.html Early Stage Innovation Technology Demonstration Missions (ETD/CSTD) Game Changing Development (ETD/CSTD) Small Spacecraft Technologies (CSTD) Flight Opportunities Program (CSTD) NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) (CSTD) Space Technology Research Grant (CSTD) Center Innovation Fund (CSTD) Small Business Innovation Research & Small Business Technology Transfer (SBIR/STTR) Centennial Challenges Prize (CSTD)

  5. NASA’s annual funding for SBIR and STTR programs is approximately $150-170 million per year.
