We will assess a suite of remote sensing instrument developed through NASA SMD Earth Science Division investment including hyper/multi-spectral imagers and thermal radiometer/imagers for their potential to meet the scientific objectives of Uranus Obiter and Probe aiming to identify technologies that may be fitting to contribute to recent Ignition identified potential target missions (Uranus)
Aims to understand whether there are existing technologies preivously applied for aeronautics applications with high relevance to mature for space exploration mission needs. Will identify current state of the art relevant to the exploration challenge/need, and other existing technology solutions. This will inform whether to further pursue identified technology solutions.
Listed on TechPort itself — the most direct way to ask about this specific project.
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.
