NASA Awards $120 million for Promising R&D Projects
From a pool of more than 1200 applications, NASA has selected 111 projects across 30 states to receive funding through the Cross-Enterprise Technology Development (CETD) program. Designed to support one-to-three year research projects with high payoff technologies to revolutionize future space-flight systems, the $120 million CETD program is a primary method for identifying and developing revolutionary space technologies to stimulate new concepts for missions not yet conceived.
Forty-nine percent of the awards were made to universities. The balance of projects will be conducted by industry, and private and government laboratories. The list of selected proposals is available on the Internet at http://www.aero-space.nasa.gov/programs/xenterprise.htm
