18 Space Technology Mission Directorate Principal Technologists (1 of 5) John Vickers, MSFC Nanotechnology; Advanced Manufacturing; Lightweight Materials Keith Belvin, LaRC Lightweight Structures & Materials Innova6ve concepts and advanced manufacturing solu6ons will enable increases in payload mass by reducing launch flight vehicle structure mass as well as the mass required for entry, descent and landing systems.

19 Space Technology Mission Directorate Principal Technologists (2 of 5) Rob Ambrose, JSC Robo6cs; Autonomous Systems By improving capabili6es in robo6cs and autonomous systems, NASA will extend its reach into space. Robots will have the capability to manipulate assets and resources, support crew in-space opera6ons and support assets lel behind. Enhancing the efficacy of opera6ons is the goal of autonomous systems. Molly Anderson, JSC Advanced Life Support & Resource U6liza6on To improve human explora6on missions beyond low-earth orbit, we need highly reliable systems in place to increase our independence from Earth. These systems include advanced closedloop life support, atmospheric capture and conversion to breathable air, and the ability to recover water and vola6les from surface regolith on the Moon, Mars and asteroids for the purpose of making water, oxygen, and propellant.

20 Space Technology Mission Directorate Principal Technologists (3 of 5) Michelle Munk, LaRC Entry, Descent, and Landing Systems Develop robust and reliable solu6ons that will allow future robo6c and explora6on missions the ability to land on various bodies such as Mars, a moon or an asteroid. Michelle.m.munk@nasa.gov Stephen Horan, LaRC Avionics; Radio Frequency Communica6ons; Electronic Sensors Stephen.j.horan@nasa.gov Communica6ons: Substanitally increase the available bandwidth and data rates for near Earth and deep space and assure data delivery through a robust interconnected space communica6ons network. Naviga6on: Increase capability for science and explora6on missions to u6lize advanced atomic clocks, x-ray detectors, and fast op6cal light gyroscopes for increased accuracy in deepspace naviga6on.

21 Space Technology Mission Directorate Principal Technologists (4 of 5) Lee Mason, GRC Power and Energy Storage Ron Litchford, MSFC Launch & Spacecral Vehicle Systems; Advanced Propulsion Systems Create improvements in power genera6on and energy storage to allow for more capable science and human explora6on missions. Improvements will be made in thrust levels and in alterna6ves to tradi6onal chemical propulsion systems for deep-space explora6on spacecral.

22 Space Technology Mission Directorate Principal Technologists (5 of 5) Denise Podolski, HQ Op6cal communica6ons; Op6cs & Science Observatories; Radia6on Protec6on Enable advances in sensor and detector technologies to increase observa6on capabili6es for greater science. Principal Technologists (PT) serve as technical experts and advocate for assigned technology areas for all Space Technology Mission Directorate programs. The PT recommends the technical direc6on for a porwolio of projects that span all Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) across the nine STMD programs. The PT is responsible for defining their respec6ve porwolio investment strategy...

NASA InnovaEve Advanced Concepts (NIAC) nurtures visionary ideas that could transform future NASA missions with the crea6on of breakthroughs radically be_er or en6rely new aerospace concepts while engaging America s innovators and entrepreneurs as partners in the journey. Centennial Challenges directly engages nontradi6onal sources advancing technologies of value to NASA s missions and to the aerospace community. The program offers challenges set up as compe66ons that award prize money to the individuals or teams that achieve a specified technology challenge. Small Spacecrab Technology Program develops and demonstrates new capabili6es employing the unique features of small spacecral for science, explora6on and space opera6ons. Space Technology Research Grants seek to accelerate the development of push technologies to support future space science and explora6on needs through innova6ve efforts with high risk/high payoff while developing the next genera6on of innovators through grants and fellowships. Flight OpportuniEes facilitates the progress of space technologies toward flight readiness status through tes6ng in space-relevant environments. The program fosters development of the commercial reusable suborbital transporta6on industry. Game Changing Development seeks to iden6fy and rapidly mature innova6ve/high impact capabili6es and technologies that may lead to en6rely new approaches for the Agency s broad array of future space missions. Center InnovaEon Fund s6mulates and encourages crea6vity and innova6on within the NASA Centers by addressing the technology needs of the Agency and the Na6on. Funds are invested to each NASA Center to support emerging technologies and crea6ve ini6a6ves that leverage Center talent and capabili6es. Space Technology Research Grants Small Business InnovaEon Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Programs provide an opportunity for small, high technology companies and research ins6tu6ons to develop key technologies addressing the Agency s needs and developing the Na6on s innova6on economy
