Completed TRL 5 (started at 2, targeting 5)
This project's goal is to develop an integrated data acquisition and control system capable of autonomously configuring and operating instrumentation and the bulk of necessary components required in a mobile rocket engine test platform.
Benefits include ability for auto-configuration of instrumentation and components deployed across SSC’s test complex and/or anywhere requiring high performance data acquisition and control systems on ground or in space. HEOMD/Rocket Propulsion Test (RPT) centers could likely be early infusion targets.
Listed on TechPort itself — the most direct way to ask about this specific project.
This is early/mid-stage (TRL 5) — 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.
