Completed TRL 3 (started at 1, targeting 3)
Produce a modular architecture that will support how future autonomous missions will be operated allowing for V&V of system-level autonomy capabilities through execution of mission scenarios within a modernized HW/SW testbed
Establishes an integrated software, hardware, and simulation framework to support a design and testing capability needed to verify the operational performance of autonomous flight and ground systems Foundational capability to address key recommendation of 2021 Operations of Autonomous Space Missions study citing an agency-level recommendation for adaptable testbeds for autonomy operations and V&V
Listed on TechPort itself — the most direct way to ask about this specific project.
This is early/mid-stage (TRL 3) — 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.
