NASA's Space Power Research and Technology Program aims at advancing the nation's technology base to meet the future needs for energy for space applications. A synthesis of these needs is derived from programmatic trends, mission opportunities being examined by planners and technological possibilities not yet amenable to systematic planning. This synthesis of needs is then used to guide the program which seeks to maintain focus on areas of high potential benefit in both the near- and far-term. In considering near-term needs for example, very high power levels at low cost and very high performance levels, represent the two major program directions.
