Canceled TRL 5 (started at 4, targeting 5)
Predict the temporal variation of the atmospheric optical channel using Machine Learning Algorithm. Develop prediction technique of the atmospheric optical channel and implement it on existing and future optical ground stations.
Improved optical comm link performance.
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.
