Land Information System for SMAP Tier-1 and AirMOSS Earth Venture-1 Decadal Survey Missions: Integration of SoilSCAPE, remote sensing, and modeling (SoilSCAPE)

Develop information technologies for enhancing science return and science data quality from SMAP and AirMOSS missions by: Developing Soil moisture Sensing Controller And oPtimal Estimator (SoilSCAPE) large-scale ground-based sensor web technologies for near-real-time validation of, and product generation from, coarse satellite observations of heterogeneous landscapes Developing a generalized science information system framework for harmonizing the widely varying temporal and spatial data and models needed to generate and validate NASA mission products and address key driving decadal survey mission science questions

SMAP

This is early/mid-stage (TRL 6) — 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.
