The Planetary Exploration Science Technology Office (PESTO) has funded various studies to explore advancements in Guidance Navigation and Control technologies required for future Space Mission Directorate (SMD) and Planetary Science Division (PSD) missions. These studies aim to assess the capabilities and potential of these crucial technologies.
One such study is the "Future of the Search for Life" workshop report. This report provides a summary of a 2022 workshop that gathered together scientists and technologists to share their expertise on the topic. The workshop helped to understand the current state of the search for extraterrestrial life and identify areas where further technological advancements are needed.
Another report focuses on robotics technology for NASA's Planetary Science Exploration. This study report offers recommendations for robotics technology development investment, specifically tailored to the needs of the Planetary Science Division. By investing in this technology, NASA can potentially enhance its ability to explore and study other planets and celestial bodies.
The PESTO Funded Studies page also features a variety of hands-on activities, interactive elements, lesson plans, educator guides, and other downloadable content related to these topics. These resources serve to educate and inspire students, educators, and the general public about the exciting advancements in planetary exploration and the technologies that make it possible.
