Description
NASA’s Chief Technologist, within the Office of the Chief Technologist (OCT), is the principal advisor to the NASA Administrator in matters related to Agency-wide technology policy and programs and is responsible for the planning, advocacy and coordination of technology development activities within NASA to meet future mission needs. OCT works with the Mission Directorates and mission planners to infuse new technologies into future missions and with other Governmental Agencies to coordinate technology development efforts of mutual interest. In addition, OCT manages NASA’s Space Technology Program (STP), which also includes the SBIR and STTR programs. In this presentation OCT’s role within NASA; the organization of STP; and OCT’s investments in EDL will be discussed. These STP EDL related activities range from low TRL to flight demonstration, with a clear infusion path to future Agency needs.
