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.

What's active and early-stage — where getting involved could matter →

21,053 projects harvested so far — page 408 of 422.

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.
