Finding 4
The Commission finds that successful development of identified enabling technologies will be critical to attainment of exploration objectives within reasonable schedules and affordable costs.

Recommendation 4-1

The Commission recommends that NASA immediately form special project teams for each enabling technology to:

• conduct initial assessments of these technologies;
  
• develop a roadmap that leads to mature technologies;
  
• integrate these technologies into the exploration architecture; and
  
• develop a plan for transition of appropriate technologies to the private sector.
