The future of NASA and it’s Journey to Mars begins here on Earth with the great minds of those of you in the audience. The SBIR/STTR Program helps students, faculty members, small businesses, and dreamers who have technological concepts like some of those in the new Martian movie and other Hollywood films that want to make them a reality.

Bone Desitometer The first x-ray machine flew up to the ISS in 2014. It has allowed NASA to study bone density in rats and can potentially be used to assess the extent of bone injuries. Techshot, Inc.

Farming in Space Aboard the International Space Station, there is a deployable fresh-food production system called VEGGIE. Astronauts use the system to grow red romaine lettuce and recently sampled the first ever space-grown crop this past summer. ORBITEC

First Zero-Gravity 3D Printer Made In Space’s Zero-G Printer was launched to the ISS on September 21, 2014 making it the first company to manufacture in zero gravity. This will allow for lighter payloads in launch and real time manufacturing of necessities such as tools for repairs. Made in Space
