Cryogenic Capacitor Storage Module (CCSM)

The goal is to integrate two KSC-developed technologies—CAPMAG and CFC—into a cryogenic prototype that functions as a low-pressure cryogenic gas storage and delivery system. Utilize aerogel rolled blankets embedded with metallic layers that serve a dual purpose: conducting heat to drive desorption of cryogenic fluid and function as capacitance plates for fluid mass sensing. This prototype will allow low pressure cryogenic storage, continuous liquid/mass quantity measurement and operate in microgravity (mitigate/eliminating sloshing) making it ideal for spaceflight and moon missions.

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.
