... • Merged: The technology appears in the 2015 TABS but does not appear in the 2012 TABS. However, it is not evaluated as a new technology because it appeared in the 2010 TABS, the prior NRC study merged it with another technology in the 2010 TABS, and the merged technology appears in the 2012 TABS under a different technology number.

... 14.3, Thermal Protection Systems 14.3.2, TPS Modeling and Simulation There are no new technologies in the following technology areas: • TA 2, In-Space Propulsion Technologies • TA 3, Space Power and Energy Storage • TA 6, Human Health, Life Support, and Habitation Systems • TA 8, Science Instruments, Observatories, and Sensor Systems • TA 10, Nanotechnology • TA 12, Materials, Structures, Mechanical Systems, and Manufacturing All of the technologies in the roadmap for TA 15 Aeronautics are new, because the 2010 and 2012 TABS did not include aeronautics. As noted in Chapter 1, however, TA 15 is outside the scope of this study.
