Description
The NASA innovative advanced concepts (niac) program focuses on early-stage feasibility studies of visionary concepts that address national government and commercial aerospace goals. Concepts are solicited from any field of study that offers a radically different approach or disruptive innovation that may significantly enhance or enable new human or robotic science and exploration missions. The niac program seeks exciting, unexplored, credible aerospace concepts with at least one mission application that addresses NASA goals or offers wider benefits with space or aeronautics applications. Niac focuses on early studies of visionary aerospace concepts. These aerospace architectures, proposed in the context of a representative mission, will generally advance from technology readiness level (TRL) 1-2 in maturity and are aimed ten or more years in the future.
