'Advanced Materials and Processing Technologies for Aerospace Systems'

摘要

The NASA Vision is "To improve life here; To extend life to there; To find life beyond." The Vision is complemented by our Mission Statement that includes understanding and protecting our home planet as only NASA can. With this background, the Office of Aerospace Technology supports innovative, high-payoff activities that are beyond the risk limit or capability of commercial enterprises and delivers validated technology that enables future aerospace systems. Critical technologies include advanced vehicle primary and secondary structures, propulsion and power systems, fuel storage, electronics and devices, and sensors and science instruments. Advanced materials and processing technologies with revolutionary new capabilities are essential elements of each of these technologies.
