NASA’s Strategic Goals
• Fly the space shuttle as safely as possible until its retirement, not later than 2010.
• Complete the International Space Station in a manner consistent with our international partner commitments and the needs of human exploration.
• Develop a balanced overall program of science, exploration, and aeronautics consistent with the redirection of the human spaceflight program to focus on exploration.
• Bring a new Crew Exploration Vehicle into service as soon as possible after shuttle retirement.
• Encourage the pursuit of appropriate partnerships with the emerging commercial space sector.
• Establish a lunar return program having the maximum possible utility for later missions to Mars and other destinations.
Innovative Partnerships Program
Matching Technology Needs with Technology Capabilities
IPP Partnerships
“The Innovative Partnerships Program (IPP) will facilitate partnering with the U.S. private sector, and leverage private sector resources, to produce technologies needed for NASA missions. The IPP and NASA’s Mission Directorates will identify new opportunities to adopt technologies developed through innovative partnerships.”
2006 NASA Strategic Plan
Looking For:• Win-Win-Win
• (NASA-Partner-Taxpayer/Public Good)
• Complementary Interests (1+1>>2)•Common Interests•Compatible Goals•Skin in the Game

IPP Seed Fund Program
• An annual process for selecting innovative partnerships for funding, to address the technology priorities of NASA’s Mission Directorates.
• Enhances NASA’s ability to meet Mission capability goals by providing leveraged funding to address technology barriers via cost-shared, joint-development partnerships.
• The IPP Office at NASA HQ provides an annual Seed Fund Announcement of Opportunity to all NASA Centers for selecting innovative partnerships for funding.
• The technology landscape covered by the successful proposals embraces the needs of all four Mission Directorates.
• Seed Fund operates through a collaboration of Center IPP Offices, NASA co-PI, and external co-PI.
• Proposals are evaluated against the following criteria:•Relevance/Value to NASA Mission Directorates.•Scientific/Technical merit and feasibility.•Leveraging of resources.

Spinoff from Lunar Lander Challenge
Armadillo Aerospace has recently established a partnership with NASA for testing of their engine with methane fuel. JSC is managing the project and testing will occur at WSTF.
Armadillo Aerospace has a contract to provide rocket engines for the Rocket Racing League - a commercial venture based in New Mexico.
New Mexico Governor, Bill Richardson, discusses the Rocket Racing League during the Lunar Lander Challenge event on October 24, 2008
Facilitated Access to the Space Environment for Technology Development and Training (FAST)
In September 2008, with support from GRC and JSC, numerous experiments were flown on the Zero-G Corporation aircraft including several selected for the FAST Program earlier in 2008.
• Pneumatic Mining System Under Lunar Gravity ConditionsHoneybee Robotics Spacecraft Mechanisms Corporation, New York,
NY• Aircraft SensorLogger
Metis Design Corporation, Cambridge, MA• Microgravity Flight Testing of Passively Self Deploying Roll Stowed Shells
Mevicon Inc., Sunnyvale CA• Virtual Sensor Test Instrumentation
Mobitrum Corporation, Silver Spring, Maryland• Nanofluid Coolants
nanoComposix, Inc., San Diego, CA
A broad call for new proposals is planned to support testing for a wide range of new technologies.
FAST Summary
• FAST has the dual objectives of demonstrating the purchase of commercial services from the emerging commercial space sector, and advancing technology maturity through use of those services.
• Should the initial efforts for utilizing commercially-provided services succeed, FAST may extend its services to include other capabilities.
• A priority for NASA is to encourage the development and use of the reusable suborbital flight capability being developed commercially.
• This may offer further opportunities to the commercial space sector and also allow NASA to further achieve its fifth strategic goal.
• The next step is to demonstrate how these services may be utilized by NASA and its partners to increase benefits for all.
• The goal is to eventually extend this model of commercial space service procurement to a standard business practice within NASA, including use of suborbital flight services when they become available.
Intellectual Property Management
• IPP manages all of NASA’s Intellectual Property
• Large inventory of reported inventions and new technologies available for transfer
• Patent application filing (in conjunction with Patent Counsel)
• Marketing of available technologies and identification of potential partners
• Licensing of patents and copyrights for transfer of technology to private sector
•Recent participation in Ocean Tomo IP Auction
• Collection of royalties and reinvestment of funds back into research and technology programs
