Technologies Showcased

Prior to the showcase, the organizing committee socialized the future planetary science mission abstracts received from the science community with technologists in industry, in academia, and at NASA. Individuals and organizations developing technologies that could potentially address the needs of those missions applied to showcase their technologies at the event.

The following technologies were featured at the showcase. For a mapping of these technologies to the future mission abstracts, please download this file. Each participating technologist was invited to develop a poster to explain their technology and its benefits to specific mission concept(s). The organizing committee also selected a set of technologists to give lightning talks about their technologies at the event.
