NASA is leading the way with a balanced program of space exploration, aeronautics, and science research. 
Success in executing NASA’s ambitious aeronautics activities and space missions requires solutions to difficult 
technical challenges that build on proven capabilities and require the development of new capabilities. These 
new capabilities arise from the development of novel cutting-edge technologies. 
The promising new technology candidates that will help NASA achieve our extraordinary missions are identified 
in our Technology Roadmaps. The roadmaps are a set of documents that consider a wide range of needed 
technology candidates and development pathways for the next 20 years. The roadmaps are a foundational 
element of the Strategic Technology Investment Plan (STIP), an actionable plan that lays out the strategy for 
developing those technologies essential to the pursuit of NASA’s mission and achievement of National goals. 
The STIP provides prioritization of the technology candidates within the roadmaps and guiding principles for 
technology investment. The recommendations provided by the National Research Council heavily influence 
NASA’s technology prioritization. 
NASA’s technology investments are tracked and analyzed in TechPort, a web-based software system that 
serves as NASA’s integrated technology data source and decision support tool. Together, the roadmaps, the 
STIP, and TechPort provide NASA the ability to manage the technology portfolio in a new way, aligning mission 
directorate technology investments to minimize duplication, and lower cost while providing critical capabilities 
that support missions, commercial industry, and longer-term National needs.
The 2015 NASA Technology Roadmaps are comprised of 16 sections: The Introduction, Crosscutting 
Technologies, and Index; and 15 distinct Technology Area (TA) roadmaps. Crosscutting technology areas, such 
as, but not limited to, avionics, autonomy, information technology, radiation, and space weather span across 
multiple sections. The introduction provides a description of the crosscutting technologies, and a list of the 
technology candidates in each section.
