By registering and providing your feedback, you could help inform of national space technology priorities. NASA will analyze and aggregate the rankings to produce priority lists for each stakeholder group, which will be made publicly available for continued collaboration.<\/p>\n<p>This prioritization framework will guide the Space Technology Mission Directorate\u2019s evaluation of current development efforts to identify necessary adjustments within its existing portfolios. The shortfall prioritization process may inspire new investments or spark innovative partnerships with stakeholders. This initiative also has the potential to unlock emerging commercial opportunities and accelerate growth in the U.S. space economy.<\/p>\n<p>Understanding and prioritizing the most important and impactful efforts allows STMD to appropriately direct available resources to best support mission needs for NASA and the nation.<\/p>\n<p>Open Date: January 12, 2026<\/p>\n<p>Close Date: February 20, 2026<\/p>\n<p>For more information, visit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spacetechpriorities.org\/\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.spacetechpriorities.org\/<\/a><\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NASA has identified a list of\u00a032 technology shortfalls\u00a0and invites you to give input on your critical technology needs using this feedback mechanism.
