Completed TRL 4 (started at 1, targeting 4)
The Module for Rapid Prototyping High-Voltage Electronics with Ultrafast Switching (MoRPHEUS) is a modular plug-and-play unit for the rapid integration, test and characterization of several state-of-the-art HV power supply and pulse driver designs to advance center competency in HV development while improving in-house assembly and screening techniques to reduce lead-time and risk for flight HV drivers. The novel designs proposed are promising to significantly improve performance while reducing footprint to enable new instrumentation capabilities with applications including electro-optic beam steering, raster scan imaging, fiber optics, and feedback polarization control for mass spectrometer systems.
1. Advance center competency in HV development including design, assembly and screening.
2. Reduce lead-time and project risk with rapid prototyping, integration and test.
3. Standardize in-house HV design, fabrication, assembly and test procedure.
4. Enable new instrumentation capability with in-house advancement of state-of-the-art HV technology.
Listed on TechPort itself — the most direct way to ask about this specific project.
This is early/mid-stage (TRL 4) — 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.
