We are pleased to present this year’s Heliophysics Technology Annual Report, which highlights HESTO’s ongoing technology investments. HESTO facilitates NASA’s Heliosphere Technology Program (HTP) investments, nurtures project maturation, and promotes technology infusion toward furthering the greatest benefit to the science community and our nation. HESTO’s guiding vision is to inspire new realms of Heliophysics knowledge, implemented through our mission of enabling novel and transformative capabilities and mission concepts; advancing science by disrupting the limits of what is measurable, observable, and achievable in Heliophysics; and setting the tone for the future of the field by enabling the technology that makes science and missions not conceivable or achievable today a reality of the future.
HESTO informs and guides technology solicitations and nurtures advancement of NASA investments to ensure successful delivery of new Heliophysics technologies that will support NASA’s goals, including the agency’s Moon to Mars initiative. HESTO also supports our diverse scientific and technology community through events, including our annual HELIOTECH Heliophysics technology symposium.
The HESTO Heliophysics Technology Annual Report highlights HESTO’s ongoing technology investments, including those awarded under our Heliophysics Technology and Instrument Development for Science (H-TIDeS) and Heliophysics Flight Opportunities Studies (H-FOS) program elements. The 2025 report is available on our Publications page or from Zenodo (coming soon).
