摘要
NASA has an active research program for technology development to address the needs of Astronomy and Physics mission needs. This paper outlines the strategic scientific and technical goals for the Astronomical Search for Origins and Extrasolar Planets and the Structure and Evolution of the Universe science themes. Technology development opportunities are discussed and examples given of some research programs. Research areas currently being funded include detectors, lightweight mirrors, holographic gratings, filters, and instruments for sounding rocket flights. The Explorer program, which offers opportunities for building and flying focused science missions is also described.
