Completed TRL 9 (started at 8, targeting 9)
This project is a collaboration between the Fluid Dynamics Branch (ER42) at NASA Marshall Space Flight Center and Gloyer-Taylor Laboratory (GTL) to evaluate GTL's Universal Combustion Devide Stability (UCDS) and Simulation Data Analysis (SimDAT) for relevance, ease of use, bug tracking, and feature requests for combustion instability modeling.
These tools have the potential to enhance NASA missions by providing a cost-effective approach to model, understand, and design for stable propulsion before hardware is manufactured.
Listed on TechPort itself — the most direct way to ask about this specific project.
This is a mature technology (TRL 9) — 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.
