NASA Science Community Invited to Contribute to M2M Technology Gaps at AMMB STIG Seminar

NASA Headquarters has invited the AMMB STIG community to provide input on strengthening the Science Mission Directorate's (SMD) approach to addressing technology gaps within the M2M architecture.

According to an announcement scheduled for November 2, 2026, at 11:00 am PT / 2:00 pm ET, the agency is seeking information on existing technologies. Specifically, NASA is looking for hardware and systems that are either already flown or currently in development, provided they represent or advance the state of the art for a recognized technology gap.

Key Focus Areas

• Existing Capabilities: Focus is strictly on established or developing technology rather than proposals for entirely new missions.
• State of the Art: Submissions should clearly demonstrate how they advance current technological benchmarks.
• Community Input: The AMMB STIG is gathering feedback to help identify where community expertise can supplement SMD's architecture planning.

Practical Implications and Verification

Researchers and engineers working within the relevant fields should review the specific technology gap requirements outlined by NASA. Interested community members can verify official details, updates, and access methods directly through the NASA Science official portal at science.nasa.gov. Proper verification ensures that submitted technologies meet the exact criteria requested by Headquarters without assuming broader mission eligibility.
