Two of America’s most advanced agencies work together to accelerate the development of advanced space propulsion. A chat about the new collaboration is scheduled for Tuesday morning. you can see it I live here.
2023 American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) science and technology forum is officially underway in National Harbor, Maryland. The theme of this year’s Confab is “Exploring the Frontiers of Aerospace” and will be held today through Friday at Gaylord’s National Resort & Convention Center.Forum speakers include space and planetary exploration, aeronautics, climate research, and earth science, etc. other topics.
Of note, a panel discussion will be held on Tuesday, January 24 at 10:00 am ET with representatives from NASA and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). Research Division—As AIAA “discuss interagency cooperation to advance space propulsion technology for both civil and defense efforts” I will explain Fireside chat.
session is NASA TVNASA App, NASA’s websiteYou can also watch the live broadcast above.
NASA Administrator Bill Nelson delivered the keynote, followed by Stephen Howe, former director of the Center for Space and Nuclear Research (CSNR), from NASA Deputy Administrator Pam Melroy and DARPA Director Stephanie Tompkins. will host a two-person panel. Melroy has ties to DARPA as from 2013 until 2017 he served as Deputy Director of DARPA’s Office of Tactical Technology.
It’s not clear how much detail the panelists will go into, but what they got was great some specific information The types of advanced space propulsion technology NASA and DARPA are aiming to develop, along with a description of possible future applications.Updates on ongoing projects with spacecraft nuclear propulsion, are also welcome.Recent NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) Program accept Phase I Status and $175,000 in Funding for University of Florida Team nuclear engine A concept that could bring a spacecraft to Mars in just 45 days.
