  2. The Vision for Space Exploration • Objectives • Implement a sustained and affordable human and robotic program • Extend human presence across the solar system and beyond • Develop supporting innovative technologies, knowledge, and infrastructures • Promote international and commercial participation in exploration • Major Milestones • 2008: Initial flight test of CEV • 2008: Launch first lunar robotic orbiter • 2009-2010: Robotic mission to lunar surface • 2011 First Unmanned CEV flight • 2014: First crewed CEV flight • 2012-2015: Jupiter Icy Moon Orbiter (JIMO)/Prometheus • 2015-2020: First human mission to the Moon Source: Neville I. Marzwell, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory

  3. Technology Infusion • Satellites and rovers • Reduced mass and volume • Reduced power requirements • Increased capability, multifunctionality • Vehicles and habitats • Reduced mass • High strength • Thermal and radiation protection • Self-healing, self-diagnostic • Multifunctionality • Improved durability • Environmental resistance(dust, atmosphere, radiation) • EVA Suits • Reduced mass • Increased functionality and mobility • Thermal and radiation protection • Environmental resistance Source: Neville I. Marzwell, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory

  4. ICP and BAA Technology Areas • TRL 5 by completion in 2008 • Advanced Space Technologies Program • Advanced Studies, Concepts & Tools • Advanced Materials & Structural Concepts • Communications, Computing, Electronics & Imaging • Software, Intelligent Systems & Modeling • Power, Propulsion & Chemical Systems • TRL 6 by completion in 2008 • Technology Maturation Program • High Energy Space Systems Technology • Advanced Space Systems and Platform Technology • Advanced Space Operations Technology • Lunar & Planetary Surface Operations Technology • In-Space Tech Experiments

  5. Partnerships • Teaming Wins Awards • Awards made in mid to late 2004 • Common feature of award winners is teaming arrangement between a NASA center and an industry or academic partner • Future BAAs will also stress the importance of partnering on proposals • Industry-Led Infusion through NASA IPP • NASA IPP plans to implement a cost-sharing program for dual-use technology development • FWRTTC can facilitate connections with appropriate NASA center technical personnel
