Completed TRL 2 (started at 2, targeting 6)
Research feasibility for carbon dioxide (CO2), humidity (H2O), and trace contaminant removal system from vehicle Environmental Control and Life Support System (ECLSS) as applied to mobile space suit application in a Portable Life Support System (PLSS).
After an extravehicular activity (EVA), the CDRILS-M system ionic liquid could be circulated in the vehicle CDRILS system to recover the CO2/H2O and regenerate the ionic liquid.
Listed on TechPort itself — the most direct way to ask about this specific project.
This is early/mid-stage (TRL 2) — 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.
