Nearly 50 exhibitors gathered in the Neil Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building’s Mission Briefing Room at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida to demonstrate new technologies and innovations. Hosted by the Office of the Chief Technologist, the Nov. 19 showcase was part of the center’s Innovation Days, aimed at fostering and encouraging an innovative culture at Kennedy.
In addition to the showcase, the center had guest speaker Lisa Watson-Morgan, NASA’s Human Landing System (HLS) program manager, take part in Innovation Days. Watson-Morgan gave a presentation about the HLS program and answered questions from the audience.
Showcase participants included individuals from multiple directorates, programs and organizations across the multi-user spaceport, as well as the 2018 and 2019 winners of Innovation Without Boundaries – an annual forum for NASA and contractor employees to present new and inventive ideas for a chance to receive funding to put those ideas in motion at Kennedy. Innovations Days is one of several events throughout the year that highlights how employees at the multi-user spaceport are always looking for new solutions to the challenges they face as they work to accomplish the agency’s missions.
