Completed TRL 6 (started at 3, targeting 6)
Applying model-based systems engineering concepts and approaches to guide a variety of Distributed System Mission concepts and research.
Better coordinate GSFC's Distributed Systems Mission research portfolio.
Improve understanding of the implications of precision formation flying and constellation management.
Advance Center's state of Model-Based Systems Engineering practice, including templates and reference models, to lower the barrier for entry for future projects.
Help define community standards for constellation and precision formation coordination.
Listed on TechPort itself — the most direct way to ask about this specific project.
This is early/mid-stage (TRL 6) — the most realistic path in is NASA SBIR/STTR, which funds small businesses and research institutions to develop technology aligned with NASA's needs (equity-free, phased funding). Check whether a current SBIR/STTR solicitation topic overlaps with this project's technology area, or contact the project directly (above) to ask.
None of these are guaranteed paths for this specific project — TechPort itself doesn't have an "apply" button. Reaching out to the contact(s) above with a specific question is usually the fastest way to find out what's actually open.
