SUMMARY:NASA Tech Talks: Technology Development Opportunities for Human Space Exploration
DESCRIPTION:We want HOU! Join us to discover NASA’s toughest tech challenges—and apply your skills and expertise to solve them. \nThis month’s NASA Tech Talks will focus on “Technology Development Opportunities for Human Space Exploration.” Mr. Montgomery Goforth will bring an overview of how these opportunities are identified\, what they are\, where they are available\, and how they can be leveraged by Houston’s innovation community. This overview will provide context for the NASA Tech Talks to be held during the rest of 2026. \nPlease join us after the talk for drinks and networking at Second Draught! \n  \nAbout the Speaker \nMontgomery B. Goforth   has more than 40 years of experience as both Engineer and Manager in a variety of highly technical space and defense-related efforts.  After working for a small defense contractor specializing in anti-submarine warfare\, he joined NASA’s Johnson Space Center in 1990.  He has held leadership positions in multiple JSC Directorates and Program Offices. In his previous role as Assistant Director of the JSC Engineering Directorate\, he established a framework to better focus Engineering’s efforts towards Human Spaceflight technology and systems development consistent with JSC and Agency goals for exploration. Mr. Goforth is now serving as Acting Director of the Business Development & Technology Integration Office at JSC\, and as the JSC Chief Technologist.  In these capacities he will be helping to expand the Houston Aerospace Community through the identification of opportunities to develop space/terrestrial technologies of interest to JSC and Human Space Exploration.  Mr. Goforth was born in East Texas\, raised in Southern California and Arizona\, and graduated from Rice University (BSME 1982\, MSME 1987). \nAbout NASA Tech Talks \nIn these presentations\, occurring the fourth Thursdays of the month\, Mr. Montgomery Goforth and other aerospace subject matter experts will discuss the technology development challenges faced by NASA’s Johnson Space Center and the surrounding Aerospace community in our ongoing efforts as the hub of human spaceflight. Presentations will focus on the ways in which these challenges\, and the associated opportunities\, can be leveraged by Houston’s innovation community. We will continue to identify potential space/terrestrial technologies of interest to Human Spaceflight.  Past NASA Tech Talks have included topics such as: \n\nFrom Space to Startup: Leveraging NASA Technology and Innovation to Propel Your Growing Enterprise\nDisruptive Filter Technology for Spacecraft Water Treatment:  The New Promise of Graphene\nLunar dust capture using novel multiplexed inertial filter\nLunar Passive Fuel Cell Technologies:\nMicrobes in Space\n\nPhoto/Video Release \nBy entering the premises\, you consent to be photographed\, filmed and/or otherwise recorded. \nYou agree that such photography\, film and/or recording may be used\, in any and all media throughout the universe in perpetuity\, for any purpose whatsoever by Rice University and its affiliates without compensation to you. \nYou release Rice University and its affiliates and their successors\, assigns and licensees from any liability in connection with such photography\, film or other recording. \nDo not enter this area if you do not wish to be subject to the foregoing.
