Approach to Technology Development
• The Earth Science Biennial Review (June 1997) recommended that future missions be implemented with shorter development time and using the best suitable technology.
• The resulting plan included the establishment of a flexible, science-driven technology strategy that would develop very specific technologies via a competitive selection process and provide a broad portfolio of emerging technologies for infusion into a range of Earth Science missions.
• To meet these challenges the Earth Science Technology Program was established and the Earth Science Technology Office (ESTO) created in March 1998.
• Transformation of Space and Earth Science Enterprises to Science Mission Directorate in August 2004 merged Earth Science with Sun-Earth Connection into the Earth-Sun System Division.
The Earth-Sun System Technology Office (ESTO):• Performs strategic technology planning for Earth Science and the Sun-Earth Connection • Coordinates with other NASA Mission Directorates and participating Agencies• Implements focused technology development for the Earth-Sun System Division

Planning & Setting Direction
Earth Science Technology Integrated Planning System (ESTIPS)
• Science needs taken from science roadmaps + open community workshops
• Coordinate scope of all solicitations with science leads to narrow scope

Instrument Incubator Program Overview
• The objectives of the IIP are to identify, develop and, where appropriate demonstrate new measurement technologies which:
• Reduce the risk, cost, size, and development time of Earth observing instruments, and• Enable new Earth observation measurements.
• IIP designed to reduce risk of new, innovative instrument systems so they can be successfully used in science AO in a 3 year acquisition environment.
• TRL guidance• Entry TRL from 3 to 5; Exit TRL less than or equal to 6.• Development must advance by at least one TRL.
• The results at the exit point should provide convincing evidence that the instrumentation can make the proposed measurements and that an operational instrument can be built within the context of the new shorter acquisition cycles.
• Solicits:• Instrument design• Engineering model construction• Lab and/or field demonstrations• Proposer defines starting and exit points
Three year development, second and third years as options.• Award values in range of $500K to $1000K annually

• PI: Dr. Scott Hensley, JPL• Heritage from AIRSAR and GEOSAR programs• Will address a range of science investigations, with primary emphasis on
solid earth science• System design includes extendability to additional frequencies/single pass
interferometry
• Initial operation will be on a Gulfstream GIII, with later transition to a UAV• Transition plan in development
• Instrument PDR was successfully held on April 12-14 at JPL• CDR planned for fall, 2005• First engineering test flights of system planned for late 2006,
with science qualification flights in 2007• Final delivery estimated for fourth quarter FY2008

• The Advanced Component Technology (ACT-05) NRA was released on January 28, 2005 as part of the ROSES solicitation.
• The NRA emphasizes six target areas:
• active and passive microwave antennas for Earth Science Instruments, • active and passive electronics for Earth Science Instruments, and • in situ and remote sensing instrument technologies that are highly sought
by the Sun-Solar System Connection Science Program.
• Ninety-six potential proposers from NASA, academia, private industry and other government agencies are planning to respond to the call for component technologies and subsystems sought in the NRA.
• Proposals are due on April 28, 2005.
