Surface Mobility on HPSC

Active

Description

Develop a framework agnostic library of flight abstractions to enable quick transitions from prototype to flight software. Demonstrate this running a mobility stack on HPSC

Benefits

Reduces mission cost by building faster pathways from research and development to flight.

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.
