PESTO manages technology development (for TRL 1 – 6) through programs such as PICASSO, MatISSE, DALI; makes recommendations for technology strategies for instruments, spacecraft, and mission support; coordinates planetary science technologies within NASA’s Science, Space Technology, Exploration Systems Development Mission Directorates, Earth Exploration Science Strategy Integration Office, PSD,…
The Planetary Exploration Science Technology Office (PESTO) at NASA's Glenn Research Center (GRC) focuses on recommending technology investment strategies for future planetary science missions. Managed within the Planetary Science Division (PSD), PESTO oversees technology development for instruments, spacecraft, and mission support across technology readiness levels 1 to 6.
Programs like PICASSO, MatISSE, and DALI are managed by PESTO to make technology investment recommendations and promote integration into missions. The office coordinates planetary science-relevant technologies with other NASA directorates and partners with the science and technology community to foster a well-rounded portfolio that addresses specific Planetary Science needs.
