NASA's Relationship with Nanotechnology: Past, Present, and Future Challenges. James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy. https://doi.org/10.25611/XX9V-RX67https://hdl.handle.net/1911/117649This report reviews the history of nanotechnology research and development at NASA over the past 15 years. Nanotechnology is used to illustrate how NASA has guided new technology development at its own research facilities and through collaborations with university scientists and laboratories. We demonstrate that nanotechnology is representative of NASA's long struggle to translate research projects into viable technologies.engThis work is protected by copyright and is made available here for research and educational purposes.
