House hearing on NASA technology development

One of the findings in the Augustine committee summary report was the importance of technology development efforts to support human space exploration and commercialization: “Investment in a well-designed and adequately funded space technology program is critical to enable progress in exploration.” As it turns out, just a few hours before the committee releases its final report, the House Science and Technology Committee’s space subcommittee will take up the topic of “Strengthening NASA’s Technology Development Programs”. The witnesses include two people involved in recent National Research Council studies, one on aligning the civil space program with national needs and the now-defunct NASA Institute for Advanced Concepts, as well as NASA associate administrator Chris Scolese. The hearing will take place Thursday at 10 am in Rayburn 2318.
