Spacecraft developers place considerable emphasis on stated Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) to establish system-level maturity; however, the methodology for determining TRL is often inconsistent across various technologies. In 2019, the MicroPropulsion Panel of the JANNAF Spacecraft Propulsion Subcommittee developed a set of TRL guidelines for the micro-propulsion community. That work expanded on the general guidance provided by Department of Defense (DoD) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) documentation and sought to provide a consistent metric by which TRLs may be assigned to spacecraft micro-propulsion systems. Since the release of the 2019 guide, community feedback is motivating an updated edition of the guidelines to provide clarifications on critical TRL entry and exit criteria as well as to facilitate continued usage of the TRL guidelines.
