Abstract	The Breakthrough Sensors and Instrument Component Technology (BSICT) thrust area fosters the develop of breakthrough technology in the areas of detectors, sensors, lasers, coolers and electronics to enable a new set of exciting NASA missions in the new millennium, including: highly miniaturized in situ analysis instruments for use in the detection of life signatures on Mars, Europa and other planetary bodies. Advanced active radar and lidar probes providing a highly detailed, continuous monitoring of the Earth's surface, oceans, and atmosphere. Suites of quantum-limited focal planes that span the electromagnetic spectrum for detection of extrasolar planets and determining the structure of the early universe. Robust and miniaturized sensors enabling novel life support and medical support strategies for long term human exploration missions. The BSICT thrust area supports sensor developments that will dramatically lower cost, mass, and resource requirements, while simultaneously providing higher sensitivity, lifetime, ruggedness, and capabilities. Activities in the BSICT are supported from initial concept through laboratory proof of concept and, for some high technologies, into the beginning of space qualification and testing. The emphasis is on identifying sensor concepts and underlying technologies that will offer high value to a broad range of NASA missions. The development of such cross cutting capabilities enables a higher return for NASA investments.
