Completed TRL 1 (started at 1, targeting 3)
We will rad test a commercial Capacitive to Digital Converter for potential use in geostationary orbit, develop an algorithm to determine absolute spacing using a reference light source, and demonstrate the use of a Die-Level Optical Interferometer for optical measurement of the etalon spacing. Accurate determination of spacing is a challenge for any imager utilizing such a Fabry-Perot system.
Task 1: rad test AD7746 component for failure dosage for use in GEO Task 2: Algorithm for determining absolute plate spacing of the TIGO Fabry-Perot plates, incorporating reference light into TIGO design Task 3: Demonstrate DLOI technology under development, feasible design for future SBIR.
N/A
Listed on TechPort itself — the most direct way to ask about this specific project.
This is early/mid-stage (TRL 1) — 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.
