Canceled TRL 5 (started at 4, targeting 5)
Small hardware receiver used to enhance JPL’s navigation quasar catalog in the southern hemisphere for VLBI experiments, flight test beds, and Entry Decent and Landing (EDL). Supports additional baselines at international partner sites to improve navigation capabilities.
Supports improved navigation capabilities.
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.
