Completed TRL 7 (started at 6, targeting 7)
The Wide Field-of-View (FOV) Soft X-Ray Imager will flight-prove and optimized a prototype imager for advanced Heliophysics science analysis.
The Wide Field-of-View (FOV) Soft X-Ray Imager proposes to be a state-of-art instrument with applications for numerous heliospheric and planetary missions. The result is expected to provide improved global space environment models that will benefit scientists and the general public.
Enables advancement in next generation instruments
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.
