The document summarizes technologies being developed at NASA's Ames Research Center (ARC). It outlines ARC's core competencies including entry, descent and landing systems, advanced computing, intelligent systems, aerosciences, astrobiology, and space/earth/life sciences. It also describes the Office of the Chief Technologist's technology definition process and lists some studies and initiatives in areas like small spacecraft, biological technologies, and cyber-physical systems. Finally, it provides an example technology matrix mapping ARC expertise to different technology areas.
