More to Explore Shape the Future of Space Technology With NASA Feedback Submission Deadline: Friday, Feb. 20 Contact: hq-techport@mail.nasa.gov   As NASA nears its next mission to the Moon, prioritizing the most important and impactful efforts helps NASA appropriately direct available resources to best support mission needs for the agency and the nation. In support of this effort, NASA’s Space Technology Mission Directorate is seeking input from U.S. academic institutions to help prioritize critical technology development needs – known as shortfalls – identified for future science and exploration missions. The shortfall prioritization process may inspire new investments within NASA or spark innovative partnerships with external stakeholders. This initiative also has the potential to unlock emerging commercial opportunities and accelerate growth in the U.S. space economy.   Click here to review the list of technology shortfalls and add input to the prioritization effort.
