Mobile Platform Development for SSC Propulsion Test Operations, Year 2

For this project, the possible utility of a mobile application in combination with portable electronic tools/tablets, which could be used in real-time "in the field", at propulsion testing locations across Stennis Space Center (SSC) was assessed. The objective was to have participating field personnel consider the utility of mobile computing platforms, and assess if in combination with correspondingly developed mobile applications, could be used to collect data in the rocket engine propulsion test environment.

Benefits to NASA funded missions include: increased efficiencies in productivity; increased accuracy and timeliness of test documentation submission; and decreased paper waste. Across the Nation, commercial industry and organizations in the public and private sectors, continue to look for and develop mobile application platforms and mobile apps (due to the wide reach and easy accessibility) so that capabilities which help modernize monitoring capabilities by building rich, connected interfaces, reduce the environmental impacts of paper waste, as well as help improve overall efficiencies and cost effectiveness nationwide. Benefits to the Nation's public and private sector organizations are associated with this continued migration and increasing adaption of mobile platform technology utilization.

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.
