Completed TRL 7 (started at 6, targeting 7)
This Artemis focused Mixed Reality (MR) and ARGOS project will extend the current VR/ARGOS CIF project another year to enhance and add VR/MR capabilities to support analysis, training and risk reduction for lunar surface EVA operations in the extreme South Pole lunar environment.
This Artemis focused Mixed Reality (MR) and ARGOS project aims to provide a digital representation of the lunar south pole for risk reduction, training and engineering design evaluation. This digital environment will be combined with a human-rated gravity off-load system and a mockup of the lander porch and ladder to simulate an initial egress from a lander to the lunar surface. The fusion of physical objects with a higher fidelity virtual representation creates an immersive experience at a lower cost than constructing an entire physical environment.
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.
