NASA Engages with Emerging Space: NASA Facilities and Expertise Advance Space Development NASA's infrastructure and expertise are valuable resources for emerging space companies. The agency's investments in facilities and capabilities began with the acquisition of research centers managed by the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics established in 1915 and Army missile expertise acquired shortly after NASA was established. NASA's centers bring almost a century of heritage and expertise to assisting with the development of American spaceflight capabilities. As the agency's priorities and missions evolve, so too do its needs in terms of facilities and expertise. The retirement of the Space Shuttle means that valuable infrastructure and experience can now be made available to the emerging space industry. These assets, otherwise latent, provide emerging space companies with capabilities they could otherwise not afford. The benefit to NASA is that it can leverage advancements made by these companies to help execute and assist agency programs. The benefit to the American taxpayer is that high value resources are continually reused, rather than abandoned or removed. Use of these publicly funded assets means that the U.S. space industrial base can remain vigorous and competitive. This map describes only a few examples of how NASA facilities and expertise are being used to encourage the development of emerging space capabilities that may in turn help further NASA's goals. Ames Research Center (ARC) provides support in wind tunnel testing, risk analysis, test beds for human space flight, and thermal protective system (TPS) testing and analysis. ARC used its expertise and facilities to help SpaceX develop the PICA-X ablative material used on the company's Dragon capsule. The Center has been working with Paragon to evaluate the company's TPS being designed for a mission sponsored by the Inspiration Mars Foundation. ARC has also provided support to Blue Origin, Boeing, and SNC. The Armstrong Flight Research Center (AFRC) was able to help SNC perform Dream Chaser ejection seat and structural design testing. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) is working with Masten Space Systems to develop a flight control algorithm called Fuel Optimal Large Divert Guidance (G-FOLD), designed to enable pinpoint landing using Masten's XA-0.1B "Xombie" vehicle. JPL has also been supporting SpaceX on acoustic and ablative shield testing for Dragon. Johnson Space Center (JSC) is supporting companies like Blue Origin, Boeing, SNC, and SpaceX in the development of commercial crew and cargo with engineering support and testing. For example, JSC supported SNC in the technical development of, and operations support for, the Dream Chaser Space System. 11PDF Image | Emerging Space
