Rapid Integration of Disparate Data Assets for Space Weather Research and Operations

In Phase I, Meroxa proposes to demonstrate the technical feasibility of building accessible tooling and connectors (proof of concept) for NASA to move space weather data, regardless of format and location, to any destination in the format required and in real-time.

The current operational suite of space weather products and services can be found in various formats and in disparate environments. Current processes to extract these data insights are too cumbersome and take too long. Moving data quickly and in real-time will contribute to the development and advancement of forecasting capabilities through better information dissemination for NASA operations and research.

Development of pipelines that integrate disparate data sources is costly, time intensive and often still requires significant manual processing. The innovations of the Meroxa Platform and Conduit can be used by any non-NASA organizations to quickly move data for better analyses.

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.
