Manufacturing and Materials - NASA
Just as a sailboat is powered by wind in a sail, solar sails employ the pressure of sunlight for propulsion, eliminating the need for conventional rocket propellant.

 

Mission and Impact
NASA seeks to improve our ability to access and travel through space; land more mass in more locations throughout the solar system; live and work in deep space and on planetary bodies; build next generation air vehicles, and transform the ability to observe the universe and answer profound questions in earth and space sciences.

A Message from Dr. Laurie Leshin
We seek to: NISAR Assembly: NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar being assembled in SAF Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech Drive the forefront of scientific discovery and extraordinary benefit to humanity through innovative missions, technology, and researchInspire people everywhere to think bigger and imagine what is possibleLeverage our unique capabilities to advance the broader space-exploration ecosystemCreate a safe, inclusive, exciting workplace where all can thriveWe have big aspirations, driven by our values. We aim to be: 
 BOLD.
 We are courageous explorers, driven by our conviction to take informed risks and expand the edge of possibility. We build and manage complex missions designed to tackle the most challenging scientific questions and address global challenges. We are motivated by building first-of-a-kind systems and by knowing that our discoveries will advance knowledge and drive positive change in society. 
 INCLUSIVE.
 We create a collaborative culture where our teams, colleagues, and partners feel valued and empowered to innovate. We appreciate excellence, expertise, and experience across all disciplines. We embrace difference with respect and curiosity. We create environments where teams can achieve things not thought possible. We take pride in the breadth of our reach, engagement, and impact. 
 TRUSTED.
 We operate with integrity and the highest professional standards. We do the right thing. We honor our commitments. We work to advance our relationships. We share information and expertise with each other, with partners, and with the world. We work together toward ambitious common goals and outcomes. 
 Looking forward, we see our work through the lens of:

Science Strategy - NASA Science
(10.6 MB)2011White House Scientific Integrity MemorandumFederal agencies are taking steps to share tools and good practices to improve the implementation of scientific integrity policies across the government. Some are incorporating scientific integrity policies into broader frameworks to improve the quality and trustworthiness of scientific research results produced or used by federal agencies.Ensuring Scientific Integrity at the National Aeronautics and Space AdministrationThis report discusses scientific integrity as a high priority for NASA and embedded in the rules and requirements that govern professional behavior across all technical disciplines. NASA policies in support of scientific integrity are robust and have been in place for many years. As an Agency, NASA recommits to scientific integrity on a regular basis, by reviewing and renewing existing policies every five years.Ensuring Scientific Integrity at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration ResponseThis report describes the policies that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) currently has in place to ensure scientific and engineering integrity, the actions that NASA has already taken to extend its assurance, and NASA's plan for additional actions in furtherance of implementing the Administration's policies on scientific integrity.The report is organized to respond to the four major areas and seventeen sub-areas addressing scientific and engineering integrity that are explicitly addressed in Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy Dr. John P. Holdren's memo to heads of executive departments and agencies (478 KB).Cover Letter from NASA Administrator Charles F. Bolden, Jr. 2011 NASA Strategic PlanThe NASA Strategic Plan embraces the goals articulated in the Vision for Space Exploration and addresses our strategy for reaching them. To ensure the success of the space program through generations to come, this document outlines simple but compelling goals and a coherent plan to achieve these goals. (670.9 KB)2010Responding to the Challenge of Climate and Environmental ChangeNASA's Plan for a Climate-Centric Architecture for Earth Observations and Applications from SpaceA 49-page report on NASA's plans to revitalize the nation's research satellite system; expand research, applications, technology, and education activities using NASA and non-NASA satellite data; and develop/mature technologies required for the next generation of Earth observing missions.
National Space Technology Priorities - NASA
Through this prioritization effort, STMD will improve its ability to advance U.S. competitiveness, drive economic growth, and foster diverse talent to solve our nation’s toughest technology challenges. 

How can you contribute?
NASA is asking the American aerospace community for feedback on nearly 190 national technology needs – or shortfalls – it has identified for future space exploration and science endeavors.   
Businesses, organizations, agencies, academic institutions, and individuals with a stake in space technology can review the shortfall list and descriptions today and give feedback starting April 16.
The NASA workforce can submit feedback on the shortfalls via the NASA Spark platform. 

For more information: 
NASA hosted an informational webinar about the shortfall strategy, process, and feedback opportunity on Wednesday, April 17, 2024, at 4 p.m. EDT. You can view a video recording of this webinar here.
If you have additional questions, contact hq-techport@mail.nasa.gov. 

How will STMD use your feedback? 
When the inaugural feedback window closes, NASA will process the data to aggregate a prioritized shortfall list. NASA will make the final list available to stakeholders and the public this summer.

Technology Needs
STMD has identified an initial list of 187 technology shortfalls. For purposes of this process, a shortfall is defined as an identified technology area requiring further development to meet future exploration, science, and other mission needs. Learn more about the shortfalls before submitting feedback about which are most critical for future civil space missions.
