NASA is funding a dozen imaginative tech concepts in the hopes that one or more of them will lead to a big breakthrough in space science and exploration also known as Phase 1 selections. The programs vary and are all unique in their own way. One for example aims to build biomaterials such as human tissue with a 3D printer! Phase 1 awards are worth about $100,000 those missions selected will use their money to conduct a nine month analysis study. Think that’s a lot? Let’s just say Phase 2 funds about $500,000!
