Deployment Test for ExoCam Module Lunar Lander Descent Imaging

Researchers from Zandef Deksit hope to use a Deployment Test for ExoCam Module Lunar Lander Descent Imaging to capture the first-ever video of a lunar lander’s final descent and landing taken from the surface. The work also aims to enable in-situ data about the lander’s plume-induced regolith disturbances, serving as a prototype for placing distributed science instruments onto the surface of the Moon and other planetary bodies.

This would benefit NASA missions, the commercial space industry, other government agencies, and the nation.

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.
