Completed TRL 7 (started at 3, targeting 7)
To develop and demonstrate new pulsed lasers for time-resolved Raman spectroscopy.
A compact miniaturized planetary surface Raman Instrument capable of interrogating the widest range of materials yet proposed by a single microscopic Raman instrument - Nearly all rock forming minerals; Weathering products; Many organics of prime importance to planetary science, including fossilized carbonaceous materials and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs). Instrument that can be proposed to NASA for a lander / Rover mission to many different target bodies all rocky / icy planetary bodies (Mars, Venus, Asteroids, Comets, the Moon, Mars' moons, etc.)
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.
