Draft Report: Search for Life Instrument Study Identifying Scientific Knowledge and Technology Gaps Information for Funded Projects Compilation of information related to Funded Projects, including Report Guidelines, Grant Policy and Compliance and more.

Information for Proposers Through an open, competitive solicitation process, we provide grants to universities, corporations, and other institutions to explore new instrument designs and technologies. Volunteer to be a Reviewer To increase the pool of un-conflicted reviewers we are seeking subject matter experts (SMEs) to engage in discussions at a virtual panel meeting or provide external reviews.

The Planetary Exploration Science Technology Office (PESTO) is managed at Glenn Research Center (GRC) as part of the Planetary Science Division (PSD). PESTO programs fund instruments, components, and spacecraft technology that enable NASA Planetary Science Missions.

Technology Development Plan PESTO developed a comprehensive Planetary Science Technology Development strategy to outline how we will create widely available advanced capabilities to explore the solar system. Our projects develop and mature, to high technology readiness levels (TRL 6), innovative technologies for planetary science exploration. View current news and announcements related to the PESTO Program.

PESTO will hold an alternating year in person Technology Showcase. The Technology Showcase is a forum created by PESTO to facilitate interactions and meetings between Technology Developers, Scientists, and Mission Managers.
