NASA iTech is a unique initiative to find innovative ideas that address critical problems here on Earth that also hold great potential to solve critical technology challenges in future space exploration. Those ideas may come from small or large businesses, academia, other government organizations – or others who may not have previously had a forum to present their solutions to NASA leadership or their industry partners. Finalists from across the U.S. have represented 30 of their most promising innovative technologies at the NASA iTech Forum during the first three cycles of the initiative.

I was tasked by the company to understand if a free flying, commercial microgravity laboratory was a viable option for the company to pursue. I developed a full business model that showed that the concept was very difficult but possible. Working with SpaceX was a wonderful opportunity and has made me some lifelong friends.
