Technology Development

Addressing the fundamental questions:


“How does the universe work?”
“How did we get here?”
“Are we alone?”

ATU 2024

2024 Astrophysics Technology Update (ATU)

This first Astrophysics Technology Update (ATU) highlights 12 examples of developments in technology maturation projects, from early 2022 to date, funded by NASA’s Astrophysics Division.

ABTR 2022

2022 Astrophysics Biennial Technology Report (ABTR)

This is the second ABTR, presenting joint technology reporting from the three Astrophysics science-theme-focused Program Offices -- Physics of the Cosmos (PhysCOS), Cosmic Origins (COR), and Exoplanet Exploration Program (ExEP).






Technology Gaps

Technology Gap Priorities

Technology gaps are what separates the current state of the art (SOTA) from what is needed to enable or enhance future strategic Astrophysics missions, usually driven by science gaps.

Technology Database

Tech Database

This database is updated annually and indexes technology development projects funded by the NASA Astrophysics Division. The portfolio includes information about the Strategic Astrophysics Technology (SAT), Astrophysics Research and Analysis (APRA), and Nancy Grace Roman Technology Fellowship (RTF) projects, along with other competed and direct-funded technology projects.
