Challenges for Deep Space Exploration
Why Invest in Space Technology?
•
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.
Value to NASA
Value to the Nation
Addresses National Needs
A generation of studies and reports
(40+ since 1980) document the need
for regular investment in new,
transformative space
technologies.
