On July 19, 2006 Rocketdyne announced that the demonstrator engine front-end had been operated at full capacity. [3]According to NASA, the Integrated Powerhead Demonstrator project was the first of three potential phases of the Integrated High Payoff Rocket Propulsion Technology Program, which was aimed at demonstrating technologies that double the capability of state-of-the-art cryogenic ...
In September 2011, NASA released a draft request for proposals (RFP). [47] The final RFP was released on February 7, 2012, with proposals due on March 23, 2012. [48] [49] The funded Space Act Agreements were awarded on August 3, 2012, and amended on August 15, 2013. [50] [51] The selected proposals were announced August 3, 2012:
The concept for the vehicle was officially announced in a speech given by George W. Bush at NASA Headquarters on January 14, 2004. [1] The Draft Statement of Work for the CEV was issued by NASA on December 9, 2004, and slightly more than one month later, on January 21, 2005, NASA issued a Draft Request For Proposal (RFP).
NASA started full-engine, hot-fire testing in March, 1999, with a 20 second test to demonstrate the complete engine system. [12] The engine was tested at full power for 155 seconds on July 1, 1999. [13] A total of 85 tests were scheduled for the rest of 1999. As of 2000, 48 tests had been conducted on three engines using three test stands. [8]
CubeSat selections addressed NASA's strategic knowledge gaps reducing risk, increasing effectiveness, and improving the design of robotic and human space exploration. [ 4 ] The two NextSTEP CubeSat projects had fixed-price contracts with technical and payment milestones and total values for the entire development and operations of $1.4 to $7.9 ...
The original inventors of SHINE are Mark L. James and David J. Atkinson. SHINE is an expert system and inference engine based upon the experience, requirements and technology that were collected by the Artificial Intelligence Research group at NASA/JPL in developing expert systems for the diagnosis of spacecraft health.

Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) is a NASA program to hire companies to send small robotic landers and rovers to the Moon.Most landing sites are near the lunar south pole [1] [2] where they will scout for lunar resources, test in situ resource utilization (ISRU) concepts, and perform lunar science to support the Artemis lunar program.
Furthermore, NASA is focusing on operating its own lunar exploration projects: Lunar Gateway station, with contracts to private companies to develop and provide space suits (Exploration Extravehicular Activity Services program), [3] the placement of payloads onto the Moon (Commercial Lunar Payload Services program) and the landing of astronauts ...
