Demonstrate a miniaturized imager for Small Sat and CubeSat earth science missions.
Demonstration of a miniaturized imager for Small sat and CubeSat Earth Science Missions. A PACS team has been together for almost 3 years composed of GSFC and UMBC personnel. This same team augmented with undergraduate and graduate students from UMBC will be used to complete the project.
Miniaturized imagers for Small Sats and CubeSats
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.
