NASA's deep space exploration program, which will conduct seven in-space demonstrations this year, also drives the development of space technologies such as solar electric propulsion. The first mission to deploy the technology will be the "Sunjammer" warning system for severe geomagnetic storms, and future uses are hoped to include asteroid capture and redirection. Credit: NASA.
