1 National Aeronautics and Space Administration Space Technology Mission Directorate ASEB Meeting Presented by: Mr. Stephen Jurczyk Associate Administrator, STMD April 21,2015
2 Space Technology. an Investment for the Future 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. Addresses National Needs A generation of studies and reports (40+ since 1980) document the need for regular investment in new, transformative space technologies. Value to NASA Value to the Nation Who: The NASA Workforce Academia Small Businesses The Broader Aerospace Enterprise 2

6 Space Technology Portfolio Transformative & Crosscutting Technology Breakthroughs Pioneering Concepts/Developing Innovation Office of Community the Associate Administrator Creating Markets & Growing Innovation Economy Technology Demonstration Missions bridges the gap between early proof-of-concept tests and the final infusion of costeffective, revolutionary technologies into successful NASA, government and commercial space missions. Game Changing Development seeks to identify and rapidly mature innovative/high impact capabilities and technologies that may lead to entirely new approaches for the Agency s broad array of future space missions. Small Spacecraft Technology Program develops and demonstrates new capabilities employing the unique features of small spacecraft for science, exploration and space operations. NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) nurtures visionary ideas that could transform future NASA missions with the creation of breakthroughs radically better or entirely new aerospace concepts while engaging America s innovators and entrepreneurs as partners in the journey. Center Innovation Fund stimulates and encourages creativity and innovation within the NASA Centers by addressing the technology needs of the Agency and the Nation. Funds are invested to each NASA Center to support emerging technologies and creative initiatives that leverage Center talent and capabilities. Space Technology Research Grants Space Technology Research Grants seek to accelerate the development of push technologies to support future space science and exploration needs through innovative efforts with high risk/high payoff while developing the next generation of innovators through grants and fellowships. Centennial Challenges directly engages nontraditional sources advancing technologies of value to NASA s missions and to the aerospace community. The program offers challenges set up as competitions that award prize money to the individuals or teams that achieve a specified technology challenge. Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Programs provide an opportunity for small, high technology companies and research institutions to develop key technologies addressing the Agency s needs and developing the Nation s innovation economy. Flight Opportunities facilitates the progress of space technologies toward flight readiness status through testing in space-relevant environments. The program fosters development of the commercial reusable suborbital transportation industry. 6 6
