Coastal Ocean Ecosystem Dynamics Imager Dual Slit Implementation (COEDI)

Develop key technology for the Coastal Ecosystem Dynamics Imager (COEDI), a potential candidate for the ocean color radiometer on the GEO-CAPE mission concept Incorporate a dual-slit focal plane design Allowing smaller instrument aperture, which results in a reduction in instrument volume Maintaining high SNR science performance Develop and demonstrate two designs Dual-slit plate and beam splitter focal plane design Virtual dual slit design that does not require a slit plate

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.
