Instrument for Trace Gas Measurements

Completed

Description

The Instrument for Trace Gas Measurements project provides early stage work to enable measurements of traces gases in planetary environments.

The Instrument for Trace Gas Measurements will provide advances in situ measurement instrumentation for planetary atmospheres and surfaces.

Benefits

This effort would ultimately further promote instrumentation for trace gas measurements.

How to get involved

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.
