Technology Readiness Assessment Best Practices Guide

This guide establishes standard definitions and best practices for conducting technology readiness assessments (TRAs) for in flight projects and NASA’s research and technology missions. These best practices originated from a NASA TRA Committee that met weekly in 2014. The team was co-led by the Headquarters (HQ) Office of the Chief Engineer (OCE) and the HQ Office of the Chief Technologist (OCT), and included one to two representatives from each Center.
