Space technologies support satellite communications, orbital safety, in-space manufacturing, and the use of local resources beyond Earth. They matter as more services and missions depend on reliable access to and operations in space.
Drug manufacturing in space is the production of pharmaceutical products in spacecraft or other space environments, often using microgravity processes.
Electric satellite propulsion uses electrical energy to accelerate propellant and produce thrust for spacecraft.
Hypersonic propulsion is the technology used to generate thrust for vehicles traveling at hypersonic speeds, typically Mach 5 or faster.
In-space servicing, assembly, and manufacturing (ISAM) comprises activities that maintain, repair, assemble, or manufacture systems and structures in space.
Lunar oxygen extraction and in-situ resource utilization use materials found on the Moon to produce oxygen or other useful resources locally.
Nuclear thermal rockets use a reactor to heat a propellant, which is expelled to produce thrust.
Satellite laser optical communications use laser-generated light to transmit data to, from, or between satellites.
SmallSat constellations are coordinated groups of small satellites that operate together in orbit to provide coverage or services.
Space radiation shielding uses materials or structures to reduce astronauts’ and spacecraft systems’ exposure to radiation in space.
Space situational awareness tracks and characterizes objects in orbit, while orbital debris removal seeks to capture or remove hazardous human-made objects from space.
Spacecraft thermal protection uses shields, materials, and systems to protect vehicles from intense heating during launch, atmospheric entry, and reentry.
