NASA iTech Finalists Announced, 10 Companies Invited to Present in New Mexico
NASA has selected 10 competition finalists to present their ideas Oct. 7-8 at the iTech forum in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Chief technologists from various NASA centers and industry will listen to the presentations and meet with participants. NASA judges will then choose three winners of the 2019 NASA iTech Cycle II competition.
Ideas submitted to this NASA iTech cycle relate to four main technology areas, including energy storage density, power-efficient technologies, medical breakthroughs, as well as radiation protection, mitigation and hardware. A fifth area, referred to as X-factor innovations, includes technologies that might not fit under the other topics but could significantly impact space exploration.
