2. NASA Explores For Answers That Power Our Future Inspire Innovate Discover Inspiration + Innovation + Discovery = Future

3. NASA’s Strategic Goals Fly the space shuttle as safely as possible until its retirement, not later than 2010. Complete the International Space Station in a manner consistent with our international partner commitments and the needs of human exploration. Develop a balanced overall program of science, exploration, and aeronautics consistent with the redirection of the human spaceflight program to focus on exploration. Bring a new Crew Exploration Vehicle into service as soon as possible after shuttle retirement. Encourage the pursuit of appropriate partnerships with the emerging commercial space sector. Establish a lunar return program having the maximum possible utility for later missions to Mars and other destinations.

12. IPP Seed Fund Program An annual process for selecting innovative partnerships for funding, to address the technology priorities of NASA’s Mission Directorates. Enhances NASA’s ability to meet Mission capability goals by providing leveraged funding to address technology barriers via cost-shared, joint-development partnerships. The IPP Office at NASA HQ provides an annual Seed Fund Announcement of Opportunity to all NASA Centers for selecting innovative partnerships for funding. The technology landscape covered by the successful proposals embraces the needs of all four Mission Directorates. Seed Fund operates through a collaboration of Center IPP Offices, NASA co-PI, and external co-PI. Proposals are evaluated against the following criteria: Relevance/Value to NASA Mission Directorates. Scientific/Technical merit and feasibility. Leveraging of resources.

25. FAST Summary FAST has the dual objectives of demonstrating the purchase of commercial services from the emerging commercial space sector, and advancing technology maturity through use of those services. Should the initial efforts for utilizing commercially-provided services succeed, FAST may extend its services to include other capabilities. A priority for NASA is to encourage the development and use of the reusable suborbital flight capability being developed commercially. This may offer further opportunities to the commercial space sector and also allow NASA to further achieve its fifth strategic goal. The next step is to demonstrate how these services may be utilized by NASA and its partners to increase benefits for all. The goal is to eventually extend this model of commercial space service procurement to a standard business practice within NASA, including use of suborbital flight services when they become available.

26. Intellectual Property Management IPP manages all of NASA’s Intellectual Property Large inventory of reported inventions and new technologies available for transfer Patent application filing (in conjunction with Patent Counsel) Marketing of available technologies and identification of potential partners Licensing of patents and copyrights for transfer of technology to private sector Recent participation in Ocean Tomo IP Auction Collection of royalties and reinvestment of funds back into research and technology programs
