The mission of NASA Goddard Space Flight Center* is to expand knowledge of the Earth and its environment, the solar system, and the universe through observations from space. To assure that our nation maintains leadership in this endeavor, Goddard is committed to excellence in scientific investigation, in the development and operation of space systems, and in the advancement of essential technologies.

The IPP Office helps Goddard achieve its mission—within the context of the Agency-wide mission of pioneering the future in space exploration, scientific discovery, and aeronautics research—by identifying and securing agreements with partners that can positively contribute to NASA’s technology developments.

The IPP Office brings value to NASA and our partners by:

– Securing partnerships with outside organizations for technology development that will yield future benefits for NASA

– Out-licensing Goddard-developed technologies to benefit NASA, the U.S. economy, and humankind

– Supporting regional economic development by extracting value from NASA technology and expertise

– Protecting NASA intellectual property rights in partnership activities
