NASA chose 3 new technologies to explore the universe
On August 22, the US Aerospace Agency (NASA) has selected atomic clocks, designed giant solar sails and new generation laser communication systems that are required to help discover. future universe.

NASA plans to spend $ 175 million on demonstration of three new technologies, expected in 2015.
'Demonstration of these technologies will improve our ability to promote in space, navigate and communicate, enabling the fulfillment of seemingly impossible missions in the future' , digital technology expert 1 by NASA Bobby Braun said.
NASA's NanoSail-D solar sail on the universe.
After abandoning the shuttle fleet last month, NASA focused on farther goals in the universe. US President Barack Obama directed NASA to send astronauts to asteroids in 2025 and Mars in the mid-2030s.
NASA plans to bring an unprecedentedly large solar sail - 38m x 38m into space in the next 3 years to help carry out space exploration missions, to support the establishment of a weather and clearing system. cosmic garbage .
NASA will also implement a cosmic atomic clock project, a form of mercury-ion atomic clock now, but with an accuracy of 10 times. This is very important for the realization of missions in space.
In addition, NASA will establish an optical communication system in the universe , allowing information to be transmitted through space through encrypted lasers. New technology allows spacecraft to transmit data at speeds 100 times higher than today.
