'''New Millennium Program''' ('''NMP''') was a [[NASA]] project with focus on engineering validation of new technologies for space applications. Funding for the program was eliminated from the FY2009 budget by the [[110th United States Congress]], effectively leading to its cancellation.<ref>{{cite news | first=David |last=Shiga | title=NASA calls for ambitious outer solar system mission | url=https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn13276-nasa-calls-for-ambitious-outer-solar-system-mission.html | work=New Scientist | date=5 February 2008  | access-date=16 April 2009}}</ref>

The spacecraft in the New Millennium Program were originally named "Deep Space" (for missions demonstrating technology for planetary missions) and "Earth Observing" (for missions demonstrating technology for Earth orbiting missions).  With a refocussing of the program in 2000, the Deep Space series was renamed "Space Technology".
