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 Who:The NASA Workforce
