## New Millennium Program Overview

- Purpose
- Validate needed technology advances for Space Science and  Earth Science Enterprises (focus on SSE today)
- Perform in-space validation of selected technologies
- Relevant and Significant	•	Technologically Mature (TRL 3/4)
- In-Space Test Required	•	Affordable
- Approach
- Technology Capability Areas (TCAs) are developed in response to needs expressed by the SSE Themes and Divisions
- Two types of validation experiments
- Subsystem Validation Experiments
- System Validation Experiments
- ST9 is a System Validation Experiment
- ≈$90 M total

**Identify Needed Technological Capabilities**

## ST9 Workshop

- Purpose
- Reach out to the nation’s experts to delineate the technological capabilities to be validated by an ST9 in-space, system validation experiment for future space science missions
- Five Technology Capability Areasidentified for ST9
- Solar Sail Flight System Technology
- Formation Flying System Technology
- System Technology for Large, Space Telescopes
- Descent and Terminal Guidance for Pin-Point landing and Hazard Avoidance
- Aerocapture System Technology for Planetary Missions

## Workshop Approach

- Technology Needs

- Splinter sessions addressing specific technology areas

- Facilitating Team

- Workshop Report Prepared by
- Facilitating Team

- TCAs

## Workshop Products

- Each TCA – Develop a Technology Capability Roadmap Showing
- Current State of the Art
- That which has been used in space or is now being built and qualified for use in-space
- Technological capabilities needed to provide the “Ultimate Capabilities” needed for future space science missions
- Technological capabilities to be validated by ST9
- Provide the next breakthrough step forward
- Define the technological capabilities to be validated by an in-space, system  experiment
- Describe the validation objectives

## Products (Cont’d)Capabilities To Be Validated

- Provide the next breakthrough step forward
- Contributes to Space Science’s long-term goals
- Provides a needed impetus
- Requires in-space validation
- Define the technological capabilities to be validated by an in-space, system  experiment
- Identify the set of system capabilities from advanced technologies that would yield significant progress toward space science’s desired ultimate capabilities
- Describe the validation objectives
- Describe quantitatively the technological capabilities to be validated by the system-level, in-space experiments

## Key Questions To Be Answered

- What is the current state of the art – defined as that which has been flown on an operational mission or been validated/qualified by an experimental space-flight?
- To what degree do models exist that describe the physics of the behavior of the technology advance and allow it to be scaled to operational settings and environments?

## Key Question 2

- What is the next major improvement in capability for this technology area that requires in-space validation (Launch in 2007) and is affordable?
- Understanding the ultimate capability SSE needs is necessary to answer this question

## Key Questions 3 & 4

- For the technological capabilities to be validated, what ground testing and analyses would constitute TRL5: relevant environment; needed measurements and analyses; figures of merit to be achieved; required model validation and extension of scaling?
- For the technological capabilities to be validated with in-space testing, what testing and analyses are necessary (TRL7): in-space test environment; needed measurements and analyses; figures of merit to be achieved; required model validation and extension of scaling?

## Key Question 5

- Between an ST9 in-space, validation experiment and application in an operational environment, what modeling and scaling issues still exist?
