NASA’s Technology Road Map identifies key technologies that will help NASA achieve its ultimate mid-term goal of landing humans on Mars, but the technological needs of Newspace may not be perfectly aligned with NASA. In this panel, we discuss what technology paths are critical to the success of Newspace, what technologies should be developed faster than NASA’s roadmap plans for to allow a greater impact in the industry, and what technologies NASA forgot about that could help accelerate the progress of both NASA’s goals and NewSpace’s cash flow.

Panelists: Dr. James Reuther, Mark Bünger, Desiree Dudley, Todd Meyerrose, Charles Miller
