NASA Technology Projects

Search NASA's TechPort inventory — every technology R&D project the agency has tracked, active and completed. Harvested gradually in the background (TechPort only exposes one project per API call, ~21,000 total), so the list grows over time rather than all at once.

ℹ️ About this data
  • Sourced from NASA TechPort, NASA's public technology-project inventory. Harvested gradually into our own database — TechPort's API only returns one project's full detail per call, so ~21,000 projects take a while to cover.
  • TRL (Technology Readiness Level) is NASA's 1-9 scale for how mature a technology is: 1-3 is basic research/concept, 4-6 is lab/relevant-environment validation, 7-9 is flight-proven. Lower TRL generally means more room for outside research contribution; higher TRL means something closer to a finished, licensable technology.
  • "Active" vs "Completed" reflects TechPort's own project status, not funding availability — see the insights page for how to actually act on this.
  • Contribution potential is our estimate, not NASA data: an Active project at a low TRL has more room for outside research involvement than a flight-proven one. High = Active + TRL 1-3, Medium = Active + TRL 4-6, Low = Active + TRL 7-9. "Active" does not mean NASA is seeking external contributors or that funding exists — treat this purely as a shortlisting aid.
  • Last updated is TechPort's own lastUpdated date for the project. "Recently harvested" instead sorts by when we pulled the record into our database, which clusters within the initial harvest window and is far less meaningful — prefer "Recently updated (NASA)".
