Next Generation High-Bandwidth Telemetery and Accompanying Agile Multi-Instrument Smart Interface for Sounding Rocket Experiments

Completed TRL 7 (started at 3, targeting 7)

Description

Our main objective is to develop a next generation centralized multi- instrument GSE that has the interface capability to use the 40 Mbps down link newly available at Wallops while remaining flexible enough to easily adapt to many instruments using documented procedures.

Benefits

Streamlining our ability to interface with the sounding rocket payloads advances our measurement and analysis capabilities.

How to get involved

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.
