... CONTEXT FOR THE WORKSHOP On January 14, 2004, President George W Bush announced a new national vision for space exploration.' This new vision provides a set of goals m human and robotic exploration that can be used to create and manage technology development tirnelines and investments.

... to make recommendations to the administration regarding realization of the new vision and to advise NASA on issues related to long-term implementation of the vision.5 The Aldridge commission report discusses paradigms and relationships with external stakeholders, which the commission indicates must be developed by NASA m order for the vision to have long-term viability and success.6 in response to the Aldridge commission's report, NASA again transformed its organizational structure on August 1, 2004.7 Before the President's presentation of the new vision and the NASA reorganization and in parallel with the Aldridge commission's work, the Office of Exploration Systems had tasked the National Academies with planning a series of workshops on policy issues related to the development of space technology. The first workshops centered on policy issues concerning the development and demonstration of space technologies, specifically those m a proposed new framework for space technology and systems development— Advanced Systems, Technologies, Research, and Analysis (ASTRA)

... OPENING REMARKS Steering committee chair Darrell Branscome convened the workshop and gave a synopsis of the background of the series of workshops on issues surrounding technology development for human and robotic exploration and development of space. He mentioned that the workshop at hand was the second m that series.

... history was a time of limited federal government— during much of the heyday of aviation prizes, there was as yet no personal income tax, let alone a system of peer-review grants and procurement contracts. It is still questionable whether a prize approach will work within government m lieu of existing methods of collaboration, but Macauley said that NASA's program of prizes Centennial Challenges was indicative of a willingness to consider new approaches for stimulating technology development.
