SMD Technology HighlightsThree technology highlights from the Science Mission Directorate (SMD) Astrophysics Division, Biological and Physical Sciences Division, and Planetary Science Division are featured:
a) A new class of X-ray detector with unprecedented energy resolution and array size could help transform our understanding of the cosmos through unparalleled vision into the otherwise invisible universe.
b) An autonomous microfluidic culturing system with CubeSat heritage is teaming up with two state-of-the-art radiation detectors to measure how biology responds to the radiation and reduced gravity environment on the lunar surface.
c) Several core technologies developed via the Hot Operating Temperature Technology (HOTTech) Program were recently tested in the Glenn Extreme Environment Rig (GEER), which simulates the conditions on the surface of Venus.
