• Advanced miniaturization, a key thrust area to enable new science and
exploration missions
- Ultrasmall sensors, power sources, communication, navigation,
and propulsion systems with very low mass, volume and power
consumption are needed
• Revolutions in electronics puting will allow reconfigurable,
autonomous, “thinking” spacecraft Europa Submarine
• Nanotechnology presents a whole new
spectrum of opportunities to build
ponents and systems for
entirely new space architectures
- Networks of ultrasmall
probes on ary surfaces
- Micro-rovers that drive,
hop, fly, and burrow
- Collection of microspacecraft
making a variety of measurements
