At #AGU22? Don't miss #NASA activities by following @NASAExhibit!

If you're not at @theAGU event, you can still tune in to our hyperwall story at 3:25pm CT on how to use NASA's Eyes to follow the #CAPSTONE spacecraft & others around the Moon and in space: https://youtu.be/C9qSz70tI14
#NASATechnology


Targeted for launch aboard a @SpaceX Falcon 9 no earlier than Dec. 11, at 2:38 a.m. EST, our tiny Lunar Flashlight satellite will head to an orbit around the Moon where it will use lasers to light up dark craters to hunt for hidden water ice. Learn more: https://go.nasa.gov/3hhggys

Our Moon-orbiting #CAPSTONE CubeSat is among Popular Science’s "Best of What's New" #BOWN22 greatest innovations of the year! Congrats to @NASAAmes, @AdvancedSpace, @TerranOrbital & other industry partners who achieved big things with this small satellite: https://go.nasa.gov/3Um2jwr
#NASATechnology


We awarded @ICON3DTech a #smallbiz contract to continue work on a construction system that could be used on the Moon and Mars! This technology is designed to use local resources to build infrastructure such as landing pads, habitats, roads, and more: https://go.nasa.gov/3FeRNmC

This #SmallBusinessSaturday, we're sharing a few examples of #smallbiz innovators who worked with @nasa @sbirgov to develop tech for our missions while impacting life on Earth. From a sustainable protein alternative to compactable satellite antennas, read on to learn more.
#NASATechnology


For humans to live far from Earth, we'll need food easily produced with minimal resources. With STTR funds, @naturesfynd & @montanastate developed a bioreactor to cultivate fungus into an edible protein. The tech will soon be tested on the @Space_Station: https://go.nasa.gov/3Vw0VZ6
#NASATechnology


Tendeg, LLC advanced its deployable parabolic antenna (commonly known as a dish antenna) with @sbirgov funds. This tech has supported @NASAEarth science and commercial missions, helping to capture images of the Earth’s surface for scientific research: https://go.nasa.gov/3u4B3ry
#NASATechnology


With the help of NASA STTR awards, woman-owned #smallbiz @MangoMaterials & the @coschoolofmines partnered to develop a system that produces a sustainable bioplastic from methane gas in space. But make it fashion – their tech could also be used on Earth: https://go.nasa.gov/3F3QyX6
#NASATechnology


Your #smallbiz can start its journey with the NASA Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer (SBIR/STTR) program by submitting a proposal to our Phase I solicitation, opening January 2023. Keep an eye on https://go.nasa.gov/3F3KDBh for updates!
#NASATechnology


We're investing $2M to support 12 #smallbiz in developing early-stage, high-risk tech concepts that could be commercialized in areas like climate resilience, low-cost solar cells, and active debris remediation. More about our 2022 SBIR Ignite awardees: https://go.nasa.gov/3i8duf3

Does anything orbit the Moon?

Yes! A handful of satellites currently orbit the Moon and, now, so does #CAPSTONE! This microwave oven-sized satellite will test a unique halo-shaped orbit to support @NASAArtemis & @NASA_Gateway missions: http://go.nasa.gov/3URKmHc

Each year, BIG Idea competitors develop potential solutions for a real space tech challenge. In 2022, university teams explored extreme terrain access for robots. This week, they presented their projects and put them to the test in the California desert: https://go.nasa.gov/3hGzUn9 #NASATechnology


Our Low-Earth Orbit Flight Test of an Inflatable Decelerator, or #LOFTID, launched on Nov. 10, to demonstrate inflatable heat shield technology that could be key to landing humans on Mars. Early results indicate our test was a success! Find out more: https://go.nasa.gov/3gcmajG #NASATechnology


One of the technology payloads aboard #Artemis I is @NASAPrize's Cube Quest Challenge winner Team Miles' CubeSat! Learn how this small satellite will demonstrate novel communications and propulsion tech from deep space. Learn more: https://go.nasa.gov/2oE1WUM #NASATechnology


Don't miss NASA experts sharing early results of our Low-Earth Orbit Flight Test of an Inflatable Decelerator (#LOFTID)! Find out what we learned and what's next for this inflatable heat shield tech during our media briefing on Nov. 17 at 2 p.m. EST: https://go.nasa.gov/3AhNDHw #NASATechnology


Our 2022 BIG Idea Challenge Forum presentations kick off today! Tune in LIVE at 11:30 a.m. ET to watch university students present their ideas for innovative and cost-effective robots that go beyond wheeled rovers capable of exploring other worlds: https://livestream.com/viewnow/bigideachallenge #NASATechnology


Thanks for following along with the #LOFTID technology demonstration of an inflatable heat shield! 🚀 Stay tuned for updates as the recovery team works to retrieve the aeroshell and ejectable data recorder.
