Flight Opportunities for Testing and Demonstrating Emerging Space Technologies
View through CrossRef
NASA’s Flight Opportunities Program has two primary goals — provide flight opportunities to be used to mature new technologies and foster the new commercial space industry. Since 2010 the Program has contracted with seven commercial flight providers and has flown over 18 campaigns that carried over 45 technology payloads. The flight opportunities are awarded through an open competitive solicitation called the Announcement of Flight Opportunities (AFO) or through other NASA solicitations for new technology development. To date over 100 technologies have been selected for flight testing. This paper profiles four examples of the technologies that have been tested or demonstrated on suborbital flights: 3-D Printing in Space developed by Made In Space Inc., Fine Water Mist Portable Fire Extinguisher developed by ADA Technologies and NASA/Glenn Research Center, Precision Landing Exploration Technology developed by Draper Labs, and On-orbit Propellant Storage Stability developed by Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.
