Strategic Technology Plan
The Jet Propulsion Laboratory is noteworthy for its sustained ability to accomplish challenging measurements and missions. JPL can continue to achieve its historical level of success only by developing and applying increasingly advanced technology to future missions.
Future instruments and missions depend on technology advances, and the Laboratory relies on the technology community to develop new methods to address technical problems and to advance the state of the art. The challenges of creating, developing, and maturing new technologies that enable advanced mission capabilities are significant. New technologies that enable a project to accomplish its exploration goals or its science objectives must have demonstrated capabilities at the proposal stage, or at the latest at an early stage in the flight project’s development. The risks of adopting the technology must be acceptable to the project leadership and to the sponsor, and the increase in capability afforded by utilizing new technology must demonstrably more than offset any additional risk. Successful infusion of technology into flight projects depends on careful attention being paid to each of the factors mentioned above. First, we must identify those technologies that will most significantly enable or enhance JPL’s ability to meet NASA exploration and science objectives, as well as support the strategic goals of the Laboratory.
