NASA to create Space Technology Research Institutes for Deep Space Exploration

NASA to create Space Technology Research Institutes for Deep Space Exploration (अन्वेषण) 
In order to focus on deep space missions, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has proposed to set up of two multi-disciplinary(बहु-विषयक) , university-led research institutes that will work to develop technologies having potential to extend human presence deeper into the solar
system.The Space Technology Research Institutes (STRIs) will be created in the two institutes namely Centre for the Utilization(उपयोग)  of Biological Engineering in Space (CUBES) and Institute for Ultra-Strong Composites by Computational Design (US-COMP) with expected outcome within 5 years.
The new STRIs created under the proposals will bring together researchers from various disciplines and organizations to collaborate on the advancement of cutting-edge technologies in bio-manufacturing and space infrastructure. Through the new institutes NASA aims to shift the focus from low-earth orbit to deep space missions by way of developing technologies that will allow long-duration mission crews to manufacture the products they need rather than relying(भरोसा)  on the current practice of resupply missions from Earth. The technological advancement will meet their goal of creating Earth-independent, self-sustaining exploration mission capabilities. Each STRI will receive up to $15 million over the five-year period of performance.
