Exploration Systems: Building on Past Findings and Lessons Learned

• Packard Commission Findings– Get operators and technologists together to enable the leveraging of

cost-performance trades– Apply technology to lower cost of system, not just to increase its

performance– Mature technology prior to entering engineering and systems

development– Partnerships with Industry to identify innovative solutions

• Report of the DSB/AFSAB (Young Report)– Requirements definition and control are dominant drivers of cost,

schedule, and risk in space systems development programs


Realizing the FutureEarth, Moon, Mars, and Beyond

Foster and sustain the exploration culture across generations– Open new frontiers– Continuing and inspiring– A constant impetus to educate and train

Identify, develop, and apply advanced technologies to…– Enable exploration and discovery– Allow the public to actively participate in the journey– Translate the benefits of these technologies to improve life on Earth

Harness the brain power– Engage the nation’s science and engineering assets– Motivate successive generations of students to pursue science, math,

engineering and technology– Create the tools to facilitate broad national technical participation


Preparing for Mars Exploration

Moon as a test bed to reduce risk for future human Mars missions Technology advancement reduces mission costs and supports

expanded human exploration Systems testing and technology test beds to develop reliability

in harsh environments. Expand mission and science surface operations experience and techniques Human and machine collaboration: Machines serve as an extension of human

explorers, together achieving more than either can do alone Breaking the bonds of dependence on Earth: (e.g./Life Science/Closed loop life

support tests) Power generation and propulsion development and testing Common investments in hardware systems for Moon, Mars and other space

OBPR emphasis toward Bioastronautics• The study and management of the effects of exposure to space

flight on humans – OBPR restructuring program to become

“projectized” to meet the new product/technology development, schedule-driven needs of the Exploration Initiative

Sample of Matrix for Code U SBIR Partnership Opportunity Area


Funding• The ITTP program will endeavor to efficiently engage

OBPR and related personnel, minimize NASA partnership costs, and fully leverage partner resources– ITTP Network services provided at no cost to OBPR– ITTP program proposes to provide (Level 4) funding in the

amount of $50K per partnership to cost-share NASA expenses

– OBPR (Level 2/3) programs/projects would be expected to provide a substantial portion of the funding for partnerships

• In some cases, partners might provide funding for NASA costs in addition to their costs


Your Role• Understand goals, objectives, process, and

opportunity areas approach– Review opportunity areas identified by external

network for OBPR alignment and partnership– Request market research to identify desired

opportunity areas and partnerships based on understanding of OBPR

– Review completed SBIR phase II contracts for potential OBPR opportunity areas

– Draw on ITTP resources and funding to establish non-procurement partnerships
