Omni-Directional Imaging Spectrometer (ODIS)

Completed

Description

Each spectrometer pixel is a static-energy-angle analyzer (SEAA) operating at approx. 10° incidence (figure shows 45° incidence performance) to achieve: Large energy ranges at fixed voltage settings: e.g. 30 volts (10-160 eV), 300 volts (160-2,600 eV), and 3,000 volts (2,600-41,000 eV). Field of view > 3°x10° and aperture > 10-2cm2 with energy resolution better than 10%. Keep SEAA size to within 3x3x10 cm3 and power low.

How to get involved

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.
