Jason Benkoski, Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore: Combined Heat Shield and Solar Thermal Propulsion System for an Oberth Maneuver.Steven Barrett, Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge: Silent, Solid-State Propulsion for Advanced Air Mobility Vehicles.Darmindra Arumugam, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California: Cryospheric Rydberg Radar.Phase II fellow Zac Manchester of Carnegie Mellon University will continue his work on a concept for artificial gravity in space using a mile-sized rotating structure.Īfter launching on a single rocket, the proposed structure would deploy to 150 times its original size, becoming a huge rotating habitat that would provide artificial gravity equal to Earth's gravity in some parts of the structure. There was also a new way of using nuclear power for spacecraft, and a concept for a swarm of 3D-printed swimming micro-robots that could explore ocean worlds like Enceladus, Europa, and Titan. The selected Phase II projects include a design for small climbing robots that could explore subsurface caves on Mars. "As in years past, our new group of NIAC fellows showcases the creativity and vision of the space community at large," said Michael LaPointe, acting program executive for the NIAC program at NASA Headquarters. It would see a spacecraft sent to Venus to gather particles from the atmosphere, and return them to Earth Venus Atmosphere and Cloud Particle Sample Return for Astrobiology. John Mather, Nobel laureate and astrophysicist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, proposes a concept that could help humanity study Earth-like exoplanets.Ī football field-size starshade in space would be aligned with ground-based telescopes, blocking out the light from distant stars and allowing astronomers to search for signs of life in the atmospheres of planets in other star systems, light years from the Earth. The new Phase I projects include a new design for a crewed spacecraft that provides more protection from radiation on long journeys.Īnother concept is for a completely silent electric airplane, and an idea for a spacecraft that could harness the Sun's heat to propel it out of the solar system at unprecedented speeds. SWIM- Sensing with Independent Micro-swimmers. The system consists of scores small scale, 3D-printed swimming micro-robots equipped with sensors, propelled by miniature actuators, and wirelessly communicating with ultrasound waves to be deployed in alien oceans
There is no indication of how long any of these technologies will take to become a reality, as this is a 'very early stage' of research, NASA explained. If they come to fruition the technologies could also allow NASA to explore the moons of the gas giant world's, or look into the atmosphere of an exoplanet. Known as the NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) program, it was launched to nurture visionary ideas that could transform future space missions 'with the creation of breakthroughs, radically better, or entirely new aerospace concepts'.
NASA has selected a number of futuristic technology concepts, that could be used to help humanity spread throughout the solar system and beyond.Ī total of 17 researchers from nine states will share in a $5.1 million grant from NASA, allowing them to run early-stage studies into the yet-to-be-developed technologies.Īmong the ideas given a share of the funding are space suits that can generate oxygen from the Martian atmosphere, and bird-like drones that can fly on Venus.
