Completed
Standard lap shear and butt tensile specimens will be brazed and tested to determine shear and tensile allowables at room and 250°C temperature; FADs will be constructed for each test temperature. Verification test specimens subjecting the brazed joints to multiaxial loading will be brazed and tested at room and 250°C temperature to validate FADs, GSFC Collaborators: David Puckett Farrokh Babak
Such existing programs as MAVEN, VAPOR, MOMA, VENUS VRO, SOLAR ORBITER will benefit from the proposed effort
Listed on TechPort itself — the most direct way to ask about this specific project.
This is a mature technology (TRL 7+) — 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.
