To support future missions and reduce risk, NASA seeks to rapidly identify and develop technologies of significant interest through a series of challenges. Innovators submit applications to advance specific technologies, competing for awards to support the development of payloads that can be tested in flight. NASA intends to award the opportunity for a flight test to winners of each challenge. These opportunities may include tests on vehicles that offer suborbital, hosted orbital, or parabolic flights.
