- The Future -
NASA’s future will continue to be a story of human exploration,
technology, and science. We will go back to the Moon to learn more
about what it will take to support human exploration to Mars and beyond.
We will continue to nurture the development of a vibrant low-Earth
orbit economy that builds on the work done to date by the International
Space Station. NASA engineers will develop new technologies to improve
air transport at home and meet the challenges of advanced space
exploration. Our scientists will work to increase an understanding of
our planet and our place in the universe. We will continue to try to
answer the question, “Are we alone?”
Unlike the way the space program started, NASA will not be
racing a competitor. Rather, we will build upon the community of
industrial, international, and academic partnerships forged for the
space station. Commercial companies will play an increasing role in the
space industry: launching rockets and satellites, transporting cargo and
crew, building infrastructure in low-Earth orbit. NASA will continue to
be a global leader in scientific discovery, fostering opportunities to
turn new knowledge into things that improve life here on Earth.
Artist’s concept, NASA’s gateway in lunar orbit.
It will consist of at least a power and propulsion element as well as
habitation, logistics, and airlock capabilities. The power and
propulsion element will be the first component to launch for placement
near the Moon in 2022, with additional elements launching in subsequent
years.

Aeronautics
NASA’s work in aeronautics has made decades of contributions to
aviation, national security and our economy. Ongoing research and
testing of new aeronautics technologies are critical in these areas and
will help the U.S. lead the world in a global aviation economy, with
increasing benefits worldwide. Developing quiet supersonic transport
over land, and quieter, cleaner aircraft technologies are two ways NASA
is transforming aviation.

Quiet Supersonic Technology
Testing the Quiet Supersonic Technology (QueSST) Preliminary
Design Model inside NASA Langley Research Center’s 14-by-22-foot
Subsonic Tunnel. The QueSST Preliminary Design is the initial design
stage of NASA’s planned Low-Boom Flight Demonstration experimental
airplane, or X-plane, which aims to reduce fuel use, emissions, and
noise, and to make supersonic flight over land possible.

X-57
Artist’s concept of NASA’s X-57 ‘Maxwell’ aircraft. The X-57
will be the first all-electric X-plane and will be flown to demonstrate
the benefits that electric propulsion may yield for the future of
aviation. The goal of the X-57 is to achieve a 500-percent increase in
high-speed cruise efficiency, zero in-flight carbon emissions, and
flight that is much quieter for the community on the ground.
Earth
Space exploration likely comes to mind when you think of NASA, but
NASA’s work has many benefits that are closer to home for Earth and its
citizens. Earth science research will continue, with new technologies
that will help us understand Earth as a system and its responses to
natural or human-induced changes. Scientists utilize satellites,
airborne missions, and ground-based observations to gather data about
the ongoing natural and man-made changes to Earth’s land, water, and air
to help improve the quality of life around the world.

Landsat 9
NASA’s best known Earth Science program will continue with the
launch of Landsat 9 in 2020. Landsat 9 will extend our ability to
measure changes on the global land surface at a scale where we can
separate human and natural causes of change. When land use and resource
availability issues arise, Landsat 9 will help decision makers make
informed management decisions. Landsat 9 will thus contribute a critical
component to the international strategy for monitoring the health and
state of the Earth.

SWOT
Artist’s concept for the Surface Water and Ocean Topography
(SWOT) mission, targeted for launch 202, will make the first global
survey of Earth’s surface water. SWOT will monitor how water bodies
change over time and support societal needs such as dams and shipping.

CYGNSS
Artist’s concept of one of the eight Cyclone Global Navigation
Satellite System (CYGNSS) satellites deployed in space above a
hurricane. CYGNSS uses GPS technology to help measure ocean winds, which
will give scientists an earlier and more detailed view of a storm’s
strength and direction.
Technology
When NASA was created 60 years ago, it had to invent the technology
to get where we needed to go, and we will continue to push the
boundaries of technology into the future. New emerging technologies that
open opportunities for research and exploration with minimal
investments include NASA’s small satellites. Exploring deep space and
three-year missions to Mars pose new challenges: Can you take enough?
Can you grow it or make it in space? Can you do your own repairs and
maintenance? As before, NASA will adapt solutions to these and other
challenges into technologies that will improve life at home.

3D Printer
International Space Station’s 3D printer manufactures objects
out of plastic. NASA is developing more advanced printers that can add
metals and other materials like regolith into the mix. Being able to
make parts in space will come in handy during emergencies.

RASSOR
NASA’s Regolith Advanced Surface Systems Operations Robot
(RASSOR) excavating simulated extraterrestrial soils. NASA is developing
technologies to drill into regolith (space word for “soil”) on the
Moon, Mars, and asteroids and to convert it into oxygen, drinkable
water, other products to support human and plant life, consumables, and
fuel sources.

DTN
Communicating from Earth to any spacecraft is a complex
challenge, largely due to the extreme distances involved. When data are
transmitted and received across thousands, millions, and even billions
of miles, the delay and potential for disruption or data loss is
significant. Advanced communication technologies are essential to
enhance deep space exploration for both robotic and human missions.
Delay/Disruption Tolerant Networking (DTN) is NASA’s solution to
reliable internetworking for space missions. DTN will enable a Solar
System Internet with automated data delivery between users no matter how
distant and intermittent their connections may be.

LRCD
Technicians test a flight modem in a thermal vacuum chamber for
NASA’s Laser Communications Relay Demonstration (LRCD) mission. The
modems encode data into laser light to be transmitted to the ground from
a satellite orbiting at the same speed Earth is turning. Optical
communications technologies can dramatically improve communications
between spacecraft and Earth—10 to 100 times better than radio
communications’ data rates.

DSOC
The Deep Space Optical Communications (DSOC) package aboard
NASA’s Psyche will use a light or laser communications to transmit more
data to Earth in a given amount of time. The DSOC seeks to increase
spacecraft communications performance and efficiency without increasing
the mission burden in mass, volume, power and/or spectrum.
Human Spaceflight
Nearly a half-century ago, Apollo 11 astronaut Neil Armstrong walked
on the Moon. NASA is now preparing for an ambitious new era of
sustainable human spaceflight and discovery. The agency is building the
Space Launch System rocket and the Orion spacecraft for human deep space
exploration. With the help of commercial and international partners,
NASA will develop new opportunities in lunar orbit, including a platform
to aid surface exploration and serve as a gateway to Mars. The
International Space Station will continue to serve as the world’s
leading laboratory where researchers can conduct cutting-edge research
and technology development to enable human and robotic exploration of
the Moon and Mars. The space station will also facilitate the growth of
additional privately owned spaceships for continued research and
transportation in low-Earth orbit.

BEAM
The Bigelow Expandable Activity Module (BEAM), constructed by
Bigelow Aerospace, attached to the International Space Station’s
Tranquility module to test the technology. Lightweight expandable or
“inflatable” habitats require much less transport volume for potential
future space missions. The modules expand after being deployed in space,
providing a comfortable area for astronauts to live and work.

Orion Spacecraft
Testing for the new Orion spacecraft. In a lab at NASA’s
Johnson Space Center in Houston, engineers simulated conditions that
astronauts in space suits would experience when the new Orion spacecraft
is vibrating during launch atop the agency’s powerful Space Launch
System rocket on its way to deep space destinations.

Dream Chaser
Sierra Nevada Corporation’s Dream Chaser cargo spacecraft will
join NASA’s commercial cargo providers Orbital ATK and SpaceX to deliver
research and supplies to the International Space Station. The Dream
Chaser also will be able to bring research back to Earth, and Sierra
Nevada Corporation also is developing a crew version of the spacecraft
for commercial use.
NASA's Space Launch System will be 364 feet tall in the crew configuration and will have a 115-ton lift capacity.

Space Launch System
NASA’s Space Launch System, or SLS, is a powerful, advanced
launch vehicle. With its unprecedented power and capabilities, SLS will
launch crews of up to four astronauts in the agency’s Orion spacecraft
on missions to explore multiple, deep-space destinations. Offering more
payload mass, volume capability and energy to speed missions through
space than any current launch vehicle, SLS is designed to be flexible
and evolvable and will open new possibilities for payloads, including
robotic scientific missions to places like Mars, Saturn and Jupiter.
Universe

James Webb Space Telescope
The James Webb Space Telescope, a NASA-led project in
collaboration with the European and Canadian space agencies, will be
world’s next premier space science observatory. Webb will solve
mysteries of our solar system, look beyond to distant worlds around
other stars, and probe the mystifying structures and origins of our
universe. Webb will study every phase in the history of our universe,
ranging from the first luminous glows after the Big Bang to the
formation of solar systems and the evolution of our own solar system.
Webb will open up new windows to study the atmospheres of planets around
other stars and how it relates to exoplanet systems.

Parker Solar Probe
NASA’s Parker Solar Probe will be the first-ever mission to
"touch" the Sun. The spacecraft, about the size of a small car, will
travel directly into the Sun's atmosphere about 4 million miles from our
star's surface.
Solar System
NASA will be returning to places previously explored with ambitious
new missions and new technologies. Much remains to be learned about the
Moon and how we might use its soils and other resources to support human
habitation elsewhere. The complex journey to Mars is challenging NASA
and its partners to figure out how to get there, land there, live there
and get home. NASA will also be searching for clues of life throughout
our solar system.

Mars 2020 Rover
NASA’s Mars 2020 Rover will be instrumental to NASA’s Mars
Exploration Program, which seeks to determine whether life ever arose on
Mars, to characterize the climate and geology of the Red Planet, and to
prepare for human exploration.

Europa Clipper
NASA's Europa Clipper will conduct detailed reconnaissance of
Jupiter's moon Europa and investigate whether the icy moon could harbor
conditions suitable for life beneath its icy crust.
