#NASA #NAC #HEO - Next Presentation...

#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
