Inside NASA's Innovations

A behind-the-scenes look at Ames Research Centre, which houses 100's of NASA's Scientists, Engineers & Researchers who utilize the vast campus & resources to develop some of NASA's vital innovations & tech. Checkout their robotics & autonomous systems, such as the Astrobee & Spheres Robots, Lunar Planning Missions, Rovers, Remote Devices & Drones, and find out how to collaborate with NASA.

Discover Jet Propulsion Laboratory owned by NASA, managed by CalTech. JPL's primary function is the innovation of planetary robotic spacecraft & operating NASA's Deep Space Network. See Laser Communications for higher bandwidth & communication in space and on earth, Spacecraft advanced GPS control systems and advanced Landing Systems, for entry, decent & landing on another planet.

Goddard is the largest combined organization of scientists & engineers in the US & dedicated to increasing our knowledge of the Earth, the Solar System & the Universe. They develop robotic & autonomous systems, such as the Raven & Restore-L robotic arms & vision systems, Laser and Relay Communications, and they manage to service NASA's satellites and provide spacecraft refueling in space.

Langley Research Centre is located in Virginia & directly bordering Langley Air Force Base. Langley was primarily setup to focus on aeronautical research, also acts as a testing site, as with the Apollo Lunar Module. Home to over 40 wind tunnels used to study aircraft & spacecraft, Langley's teams study & test landing systems, nanotechnologies, micro particles, innovative heat shields & more.

Glenn Research Centre was originally setup as a laboratory for aircraft engine research, and today houses NASA's Zero Gravity Research Facility, Advanced Propulsion Systems, Space Power & Energy Storage facilities. NASA's team utilizes their Zero Gravity environment and unique testing areas to innovate and verify the sustainability of new technologies used in space.

NASA collaborates with the private & public sector in order to accelerate their research and development. NASA have setup of two ground-breaking innovation programs focused on small to medium sized business, which offer the ability to license & commercialize NASA's innovations & potentially project funding. Discover NASA's collaborative innovation with entrepreneurs & businesses across the US.
