As NASA focuses on exploring the Moon, Mars, and the solar system for the benefit of humanity, the agency’s Space Technology Mission Directorate is shifting how it. As part of this refinement effort, NASA is asking the American aerospace community for feedback on nearly 190 national space technology needs – or shortfalls – it has identified for future space exploration and science endeavors.
NASA aims to collect broad aerospace community feedback on critical technology shortfalls – like additive manufacturing, cryogenic fluid management, in-situ resource utilization, and others – ahead of future operations on the. Understanding and prioritizing the most important and impactful efforts allows STMD to appropriately direct available resources to best support mission needs for NASA and the nation.
Once the shortfalls are prioritized, NASA will evaluate its ongoing technology development efforts against those priorities to identify any required adjustments within its current portfolio. NASA expects the shortfall prioritization to pinpoint new investments within STMD or in partnership with its stakeholders. This effort may also open future opportunities to grow new commercial markets and foster the burgeoning U.S. space economy.
