SPACE TECHNOLOGY
The Office of the Chief Technologist (OCT) coordinates the Agency’s overall technology portfolio to
identify development needs and reduce duplication.In managing Space Technology investments, NASA
employs a portfolio approach that spans a range ofdiscipline areas and technology readiness levels (TRL)
from concept study to flight demonstration. By fundinga mixture of early stage conceptual studies (TRL
1-3), ground-based and laboratory testing aimed at demonstrating technical feasibility (TRL 3-5), and
relevant environment flight demonstrations (TRL 5-7), Space Technology helps NASA attain a balance
between mission-driven technology investments and the long-range, transformational technology and
capability investments that are required to meetour Nation’s far-reaching goals. By coordinating
technology programs within NASA, OCT facilitates integration of available and new technology into
operational systems that support specific human-exploration missions, science missions, and aeronautics.
OCT also engages the larger aerospace community including other Government agencies, and, where
there are mutual interests, develops partnershipsto efficiently develop breakthrough capabilities. OCT
leads NASA’s efforts in transferring and commercializing technology toa wide range of users to ensure
that the full value of these development efforts is realized.
Space Technology development takes place within NASACenters, in academia and industry, and through
partnerships with other Government agencies and international partners. NASA also participates in
national technology development initiatives such as the National Robotics Initiative to increase
opportunities for collaborative technology development. Investments include both competitively awarded
and strategically-guided activities to address long-termAgency technology priorities and technology gaps
identified within the Agency’s space technology roadmaps. This roadmapping effort, initiated in late 2010
and externally reviewed by the National Research Council (NRC), aids NASA in formulating a balanced,
cross-agency, technology investment perspective by identifying technology needs and overlaps, which
will better ensure infusion of technologies into future missions conducted by NASA, industry or other
Government users. The NRC’s final report, releasedin February 2012, provides guidance for future
competitive and guided technology investments. NASA is investing, at some level, in all 16 high priority
research technologies referenced in the report. 
Investments in space technology stimulate the economy and contribute to the Nation's global
competitiveness through the creation of new products and services, new business and industries, and highquality, sustainable jobs. Those same advanced technologies developed for space exploration and the
aerospace industry also advance products and services available everyday to the public. Knowledge
provided by weather and navigational spacecraft,efficiency improvements in ground and air
transportation, supercomputers, solar- and wind-generated energy, battery and fuel cell energy storage,
the cameras found in many of today’s cell phones, improved biomedical applications including advanced
medical imaging and even more nutritious infant formula, as well as the protective gear that keeps our
military, firefighters and police safe, have all benefitted from our nation’s investments in aerospace
technology. According to the 2011 Aerospace Industries Association Year End Review, the U.S.
aerospace industry experienced its eighth consecutive year of growth and maintained the largest trade
surplus of any manufacturing industry. A technology-driven NASA will maintain the Nation's aerospace
community as a global technological leader for manyyears to come. NASA innovation also serves as an
inspiration for young people to pursue science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)
education and career paths.
Reaching our future exploration objectives will require these advanced technology and innovation
commitments by NASA and the Nation. American technological leadership is vital to our national
security, our economic prosperity and our global standing. The U.S. is as strong as it is today because of
the technological investments made in earlier decades, because of the engineers, scientists and elected

Chrysler Deletes Its Dating Apps, Decides To Remain Single For Now

By
They say you can’t have a healthy relationship until you’re happy with yourself. That appears to be the new mantra for Fiat Chrysler: After several attempts to woo General Motors and more recently Volkswagen , the carmaker’s top executive says he plans to ditch his lovelorn ways to concentrate on his company’s bottom line.  Bloomberg reports that CEO Sergio Marchionne has turned his focus to eliminating FCA’s debt rather than eliminating its single status. Marchionne has set a goal of erasing FCA’s debt by 2019, the same year he’s set to retire. To do that, he says the company needs to do a little work on itself. “We need to be very careful that we don’t start unrealistic dreams about consolidation as we are on our way to achieve historically important results and a debt-free position,” Marchionne told investors at the carmaker’s annual meeting in Amsterdam, as reported by Bloomberg. “We are not at a point of time to discuss any alliance.” Yes, you heard that right: The man w...

Study Claims 43% Of “Wild” Salmon In Stores & Restaurants Isn’t Wild At All

By
That wild salmon entrée calling to you from the menu at dinner might not be all it’s advertised. In fact a new study released Wednesday found evidence of mislabeling in nearly half of all salmon sold in restaurants and grocery stores.  The study [ PDF ] from international environmental advocacy group, Oceana, analyzed 82 salmon samples from restaurants and grocery stores, finding that 43% of the products were mislabeled. DNA testing confirmed that 69% of the mislabeled product consisted of farmed Atlantic salmon being sold as wild-caught product. According to the report, consumers satisfying their salmon craving in restaurants are misled about 67% of the time, while those who buy their seafood in a grocery store are misled 20% of the time. “Americans might love salmon, but as our study reveals, they may be falling victim to a bait and switch,” Beth Lowell, senior campaign director at Oceana, said . “When consumers opt for wild-caught U.S. salmon, they don’t expect to get a far...

Introduction to Biology (IX Biology Notes Chapter 01)

By
Science: Our universe operates under certain principles. For understanding of these principles, the experiments are done and observations are made; on the basis of which logical conclusions are drawn. Such a study is called "Science". In brief science is the knowledge based on experiments and observations. Biology: The Scientific study of living organisms is called Biology. The word biology is derived from two Greek words "bios" meaning life and "logos" meaning thought, discourse, reasoning or study. It means that all aspects of life and every type of living organism are discussed in biology. Branches of Biology: Biology is divided into following branches: Morphology The study of form and structure of living organisms is called morphology. It can be further divided into following two parts: 1. The study of external parts of living organism is called external morphology. 2. The study of internal parts of living organism is calle...
