NASA has funded six new projects, including a space pharmacy and a new asteroid pulverization defense system.
NASA has funded a second phase of several key futuristic projects, including an on-demand space pharmacy as well as an asteroid defense system. These are just two of six total projects that have received additional funding, and could lead to some intriguing results down the line.the latest awardees of the NASA Innovative Concept Studies for Science this week, noting the six projects it would continue to funnel money into.
This project will build off the success seen in a Phase I NIAC project that introduced what scientists call Astropharmacy — which essentially acts as an on-demand space pharmacy for NASA astronauts. The project has already proven that it can create and purify certain elements.Now, the project seeks to prove that it can create and purify acceptable quantities of drugs that astronauts may need while they are out in space.
Alongside NASA’s space pharmacy project, scientists are working on a new type of asteroid defense system. NASA has already proven that systems like DART can work, allowing us to use momentum to change an asteroid’s orbit. However, new tech is being developed to see if asteroid pulverization can work, too.
Other plans are in motion to create an observatory that can collect data from deep space, giving us a broader view of the universe. NASA is also funding the FarView Observatory, aThese projects will hopefully help push the future of space exploration to new levels.
