Some of these ideas seem like science fiction, but they could one day assist space missions
. Phase I studies are those still in the exploration stage. Leading researchers will need to determine how viable their idea is, over the course of nine months.
Phase II of project development continues over the following two years. During this time, further technological advancements are made. Then, in Phase III, concepts need to be developed to produce the highest possible impact. This can be for use by NASA or by other government agencies or commercial partners.
"As we set our sights on ever more challenging destinations for exploration with humans and robots, innovative ideas and future thinking will be critical to helping us reach new milestones," Pam Melroy, NASA's deputy administrator, said in the same statement. "Concepts like those being studied with this new round of NIAC funding are helping us expand the scope of the possible so we can make it reality."
