#NASA#NAC#HEO - We have 3 points as described in the chart Develop tech not only for human and robotic exploration but tech that drives the expanding space economy.
#NASA#NAC#HEO - QR code for the strategy 63 top-level objectives developed as a cross-agency activity
#NASA#NAC#HEO - This is an effort to intergrate at the agency level baord is made up of members of all directorates not a decision making body but an effort to integrate across the agency & to resolve conflicts
#NASA#NAC#HEO - There are a number of meeting that happen where we get insights into what is being developed. STMD has its hand in eveything in the process.
#NASA#NAC#HEO - The current portfolio of work in which STMD is involved.
#NASA#NAC#HEO - Q: What are we doing to drive results in the early stages? What's that forcing function, fail fast, how does that work? A: The portfolio is a early-stage lab. We don't mind failing early and starting again. We have a lot of oversight and some have a high...
...high payoff abilities. We're also teaching people in the early stage portfolio in project management as well.
#NASA#NAC#HEO - An early investment that formed into a usable technology started with a small company called Deployable Space Systems; MAXAR picked it up, and demonstrated the roll-out solar array on ISS; & Gateway, later. Company has since been acquired by @RedwireSpace
#NASA#NAC#HEO - George Sowers: What is the success rate? A: Rollout Solar array was a 10-year development; early investments made are just starting now to come to fruition
#NASA#NAC#HEO - Examples in investments in the current portfolio, we sometimes get multiple universities together to work on a project, have some investments in surface power systems also investments in lunar benefaction, current year dust mitigation & regolith extraction.
#NASA#NAC#HEO - some of the technology work going on at some of the NASA Centers, that are feeding forward, these a re bets we're placing that will benefit sustainable lunar and Mars exploration
#NASA#NAC#HEO - some of the #CLPS missions Intuitive Machines will be flying their mission soon, CT 1 & 2 are missions we're targeting in the late 2020's that will do an ISRU demo, Power and dust mitigation, Late 2020's want to develop a larger ISRU power system.
#NASA#NAC#HEO - Some of the highlights form STMD and some of the investments, solar electric propulsion for the Gateway, #LOFTID aeroshell, @ulalaunch is using that as a potential device in thier reusable launch systems, Cryo fluid management,
#NASA#NAC#HEO - In Summary: Have a technology framework that was developed with the blueprint document and invest in Moon-To-Mars and Artemis tech across the portfolio
#NASA#NAC#HEO - George Sowers is just saying thank you for putting Benard Kutter's name on the #LOFTID test

#NASA#NAC#HEO#TIE _ Why nuclear power and propulsion: The system is well suited for space exploration activities and does share an interest in commercial space.
#NASA#NAC#HEO#TIE - Surface power strategy, want to deliver a qualified flight demo in 2030 and want to transition technology to industry. Looking at a 40Kw scalable system at first. want system to be placed at different lunar surface sites and a 10 year lifetime
#NASA#NAC#HEO#TIE Why develop ISRU Can increase safety for the crew and has direct applications here on Earth. Planetary preservation is paramount
#NASA#NAC#HEO#TIE - ISRU is one of the 6 points of extreme environmental extreme access, dust mitigation, and unique aspects to each one of these points want to make sure we're driving these processes to mitigate risk.
#NASA#NAC#HEO - Taken objectives and broken them down into 4 categories, form those objectives we're creating an architecture. with our workforce, international partners, industry and academic partners
#NASA#NAC#HEO - Going over the plan for the #Artemis1 mission. Was a successful mission design
#NASA#NAC#HEO - Amit Kshatriya - What I was really thinking about were all about the US businesses that put thier hands on that hardware, sometimes "Mom & Pop" shops. Just how many of them contributed to the success.
#NASA#NAC#HEO - Jim Free, we want to get on pace to launch every year, that will be a challenge to ac hive without the budget to go with it. Will work closely with the Centers, will have great collaboration but will also be a time when we need to talk stuff though
#NASA#NAC#HEO - Want a sustained presence meaning a robotic presence on the Moon when we don't have crew present
#NASA#NAC#HEO Free: Were going to transition program to operations; Agency decided NOT to do that, so a new organization had to be established
