SummarySummary

• NMP space flight validation provides a critical bridge from technology development to use in future science missions

– Facilitates realization of benefits from NASA technology investment portfolio

• Program focus is on validating breakthrough technologies that enable new high priority science capabilities or provide needed capabilities at greatly reduced cost and risk for both ESE and SSE missions

• Program focus is on more frequent flights through partnerships, subsystem validations and flights-of-opportunity
