Adaptable Radiometric Measurement System (ARMS)
Active
Description
Development of Adaptable Radiometric Measurement System (ARMS) to conduct no-contact high temperature measurement >2600F
Benefits
ARMS can replace expensive, labor-intensive surface-mounted thermocouples for full-temperature range ground and flight test on re-entry thermal protection system (TPS) and/or hypersonic vehicle.

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.
