All projects are still in the early stages of development, with most requiring a decade or more of technology maturation, and are not official NASA missions. Their goal is to develop technology that will allow on-board astronauts to develop their own short- and long-term plans for accomplishing mission objectives. Universities have two to three years to work on their proposed research and Read More Early-stage Innovation and Exploratory research. The Goddard Fellows Innovation Challenge focuses on early-stage innovation and exploratory research, potentially radical or high-risk/high-reward efforts that could have dramatic, longer-term consequences for science and engineering. Outline. These questions are at the heart of Prof. Karen Feigh's research, "Technologies for Mixed-Initiative Plan Management for Human Space Flight," which recently received a two-year, $600K NASA Early Stage Innovation (ESI) grant.

JAN 9, 2017 - CEC professors, Dr. Karen Feigh and Dr. Amy Pritchett, recently received a two year, $600K NASA Early Stage Innovation (ESI) grant for "Technologies for Mixed-Initiative Plan Management for Human Space Flight." Together Feigh, Pritchett, and Savelsbergh will work toward developing technology that will allow on-board astronauts to develop their own short- and long-term plans for accomplishing mission objectives.
