Technology Project Libraries
Libraries can help you unlock the hidden depths of NASA's technology projects.
TechPort is about more than searching, browsing, and reading. Projects often contain downloadable documents and links to additional information. Libraries can help you unlock the hidden depths of NASA’s technology projects.
Many technology project records in TechPort include a library of rich content, such as peer reviewed papers, research documentation, technical reports, New Technology Reports (NTRs), news stories, images, and even videos.
Project libraries provide the technology project with an opportunity to showcase some of their accomplishments and benefits, to go deeper into the technology, and provide the context necessary for viewers to understand the project. Technology developers can use this information to understand the project parameters, performance metrics, design, infusion prospects, and applications.
