for technology advancement to support future human space exploration, providing opportunities for commercial companies to offer services to low Earth orbit and beyond, and developing the launch capability required for safe access to locations beyond low Earth orbit. Supporting technologies would enable humans to survive long voyages throughout the solar system, get to their chosen destination, work effectively, and return safely.

The new 2015 roadmap for TA 9, however, has essentially deleted technology 9.4.7, because it no longer has any technical content. All of the research previously included in 9.4.7 has been moved into the following technologies: • 9.1.3, Rigid Hypersonic Decelerators • 9.1.4, Deployable Hypersonic Decelerators • 9.2.6, Large Divert Guidance • 9.2.7, Terrain-Relative Sensing and Characterization • 9.2.8, Autonomous Targeting Given this situation, the committee had to decide which of the above technologies (if any)
