TechBytes Newsletter & TechBits News Flash
TechBytes Newsletter and TechBits News Flash are produced and published by the Office of the Center Chief Technologist (CCT). The quarterly newsletter describes the emerging, potentially transformative technologies that Ames is pursuing to help NASA achieve its missions; the monthly news flash keeps abreast of near-term opportunities for technology development, informs of recent technology awards, and provides an ongoing timeline of technology-related events coming up within the next six months. If you have an interesting article you would like to contribute, please send an email with: your name, Ames organization code, work phone number, and a brief (1 paragraph) description of your potential contribution to the CCT Office at: arc-cct@mail.nasa.gov.
