Innovative Technologies Contributing to Future Earth Science Capabilities Presented to: Working Group on Space-Based Lidar Winds June 17, 2009 George J. Komar Associate Director/Program Manager Earth Science Technology Office

2 Earth Science Division Overview – Overarching goal: to advance Earth System science, including climate studies, through spaceborne data acquisition, research and analysis, and predictive modeling – Six major activities: Building and operating Earth observing satellite missions, many with international and interagency partners Making high-quality data products available to the broad science community Conducting and sponsoring cutting-edge research in 6 thematic focus areas –Field campaigns to complement satellite measurements –Modeling –Analyses of non-NASA mission data Applied Science Developing technologies to improve Earth observation capabilities Education and Public Outreach

3 –Enable previously unforeseen or infeasible science investigations Far infrared Spectroscopy of the Troposphere (FIRST) - first ever complete infrared emission spectrum of the Earth (key data for global change studies) Gravity gradiometer - for measurements of the sub-surface structure of the solid and fluid Earth –Enhance existing measurement or operational capabilities New, radiation tolerant low-power transceiver Electronic design tools accelerate design and analysis of Field Programmable Gate Arrays – Reduce cost, risk, or development times Mass and size reductions (AIRS-Light, MISR-2) Why Do Technology?

4 Approach to Technology Development Science driven, competed, actively managed, dynamically communicated Competitive, peer-reviewed proposals enable selection of best-of-class technology investments Risks are retired before major dollars are invested: a cost-effective approach to technology development and validation This approach has resulted in: a portfolio of emerging technologies that will enhance and/or enable future science measurements a growing number of infusion successes: -technologies are infused into: science campaigns, instruments, ground systems and missions -infusion is by competitive selection by science investigators or mission managers, not the technology program
