Completed TRL 9 (started at 4, targeting 9)
Low-power low-cost spacecraft ranging, topology recovery, and coordinated measurement technology demonstration utilizing three 1U spacecraft for future spacecraft swarm systems.
Cutting-edge: Advances efforts for small spacecraft distributed architectures. Enabling: Reduces reliance on Earth-based resources to scale spacecraft coordination.
Listed on TechPort itself — the most direct way to ask about this specific project.
This is a mature technology (TRL 9) — the realistic path in is usually NASA's Technology Transfer Program: licensing an existing NASA patent, or a Space Act Agreement to use NASA facilities/expertise directly. NASA also runs a startup licensing program with no upfront fee for companies formed to commercialize a specific NASA technology.
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.
