This section of the NAS website highlights many of our ongoing research and technology efforts. As described in our mission statement, we believe that research and production are inextricably tied together in today's computing environment. Each supports and informs the development of the other. Much of the research detailed in this section is related to the development of NASA's innovative Information Power Grid computing environment.

We are excited about sharing the progress being made in the seven focus areas that make up our current research efforts. You are invited to follow the evolution of these research tasks in our published papers and reports, download available software, and explore sample datasets from our archives.
