NASA Space Technology Roadmaps and Priorities

NASA Space Technology Roadmaps and Priorities: Restoring NASA’s Technological Edge and Paving the Way for a New Era in Space, January 2012

  • “NASA has received the National Research Council (NRC) report “NASA Space Technology Roadmaps and Priorities,” which provides the agency with findings and recommendations on where best to invest in technologies needed to enable NASA’s future missions in space. The NRC report will help define NASA’s technology development priorities in the years to come. One year ago, NASA provided 14 draft space technology area roadmaps to the NRC and asked the council to examine and prioritize technologies for the agency. The technologies were prioritized in each of the 14 areas and then across all categories. The report finalizes the NRC’s review and identifies 16 top-priority technologies necessary for NASA’s future missions, which also could benefit American aerospace industries and the nation. The 16 were chosen by the NRC from its own ranking of 83 high-priority technologies out of approximately 300 identified in the roadmaps.”
