NASA战略性天体物理学技术投资的十年:技术成熟、注入和其他好处
A Decade of NASA Strategic Astrophysics Technology Investments: Technology Maturation, Infusion, and Other Benefits
摘要:
NASA天体物理部资助尖端技术的开发,使其任务能够实现雄心勃勃和突破性的科学目标。这些技术开发工作由宇宙物理学、宇宙起源和系外行星探索计划管理。NASA战略天体物理技术计划(SAT)成立于2009年,是一项新的技术成熟计划,旨在填补技术准备程度级别3至6之间的空白。自项目启动以来,已有100个SAT赠款公开竞争和授予,以及数十个直接资助的项目,导致一系列技术提高其技术准备水平和/或被注入太空和亚轨道任务和地面项目。我们根据所涉及的特定技术领域展示了产品组合分布,包括光学、探测器、涂层、电晕图、星罩、激光器、电子产品和冷却子系统。我们分析了技术准备水平进步的速度,注入成功的故事,以及其他好处,例如培训未来的天体物理学劳动力,包括项目雇用的学生和博士后研究员。最后,我们提出了天体物理学司目前的战略技术成熟的投资优先事项,使一系列未来的战略天体物理学任务。
英文摘要:
NASA Astrophysics Division funds development of cutting-edge technology to enable its missions to achieve ambitious and groundbreaking science goals. These technology development efforts are managed by the Physics of the Cosmos, Cosmic Origins, and Exoplanet Exploration Programs. The NASA Strategic Astrophysics Technology Program (SAT) was established in 2009 as a new technology maturation program to fill the gap in the Technology Readiness Level range from 3 to 6. Since program inception, 100 SAT grants have been openly competed and awarded, along with dozens of direct-funded projects, leading to a host of technologies advancing their Technology Readiness Levels and/or being infused into space and suborbital missions and ground-based projects. We present the portfolio distribution in terms of specific technology areas addressed, including optics, detectors, coatings, corona graphs, star shades, lasers, electronics, and cooling subsystems. We show an analysis of the rate of Technology Readiness Level advances, infusion success stories, and other benefits such as training the future astrophysics workforce, including students and postdoctoral fellows hired by projects. Finally, we present the Astrophysics Division current strategic technology maturation priorities for investment, enabling a range of future strategic astrophysics missions.
