CC22 Rid the Rocket Challenges

The Rid the Rocket Challenge invites individuals, teams, and organizations to submit solutions for innovative ways to build a new chemical detection method that can be used by astronauts following space flight. The detection of Hydrazine/MMH is a critical safety procedure in space flight. it's expected that this challenge yield, qualified solutions that will be tested at the NASA White Sands facility.

This is early/mid-stage (TRL 4) — 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.
