NASA has awarded nearly $1.5 million to academic, non-profit, and business organizations to advance state-of-the-art technology that will play a key role in the agency\u2019s return to the Moon under Artemis, as well as future missions to Mars.<\/p>\n

Twenty-four projects from 21 organizations have been awarded under NASA\u2019s Dual-Use Technology Development Cooperative Agreement Notices, or CANs.\u00a0The awardees also will receive assistance from propulsion, space transportation, and science experts at NASA\u2019s Marshall Space Flight Center<\/a> in Huntsville, Alabama.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Dual-Use Technology Development Cooperative Agreement Notice enables NASA to collaboratively work with U.S. industry and academia to develop needed technologies,\u201d said Daniel O\u2019Neil, manager, NASA Marshall\u2019s Technology Development Dual-Use CAN Program. \u201cProducts from these cooperative agreements support the closure of identified technology gaps<\/a> and enable the development of components and systems for NASA\u2019s Moon to Mars architecture.\u201d<\/p>\n

These innovative projects include ways to use lunar regolith for construction on the Moon\u2019s surface, using smartphone video guidance sensors to fly robots on the International Space Station, identifying new battery materials, and improving a neutrino particle detector.<\/p>\n
