An intuitive toolkit for monitoring global HF radio signal interference in ionospheric E- and F-layers to support space weather modeling

We propose a technology development to deliver a benchmark product of near-real-time, globally integrated maps detailing amplitudes and occurrences of scintillations utilizing GNSS radio occultation measurements from the operating satellite constellation COSMIC-2. These scintillations represent consequential risks for terrestrial resources and NASA’s Moon to Mars architecture. To achieve the proposed goal, the project will build an automated software package to facilitate the effective ingestion, processing, and visualization of LEO-GNSS satellite data. This innovation is based on developing a novel technology of processing those near-real-time observations from satellite constellations. The outcomes of this effort will address the urgent operational need of situational awareness of the interferences of radio signals due to scintillations. This project will provide the foundational technology for future commercial data streams, supporting a game-changing capability for near-Earth modeling, operations, and research.

Near-real-time, globally integrated maps of GNSS scintillation amplitudes/occurrences using COSMIC-2; automated software for LEO-GNSS data ingestion, processing, and visualization; improved situational awareness of radio signal interference risks to terrestrial and space assets.

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.
