Completed TRL 3 (started at 2, targeting 3)
This project focused on the design, manufacture, and test of a composite cryogenic tank as an evolutionary path for the Generation Orbit Launch Services vehicle, GOLauncher 1. The company partnered with LaRC to design, manufacture, and test a composite cryogenic tank utilizing the LaRC-developed tow-steering composite layup method for load path control.
This project hopes to develop a sub-orbital system to enable rapid and inexpensive hypersonic flight regime test capabilities.
Listed on TechPort itself — the most direct way to ask about this specific project.
This is early/mid-stage (TRL 3) — the most realistic path in is NASA SBIR/STTR, which funds small businesses and research institutions to develop technology aligned with NASA's needs (equity-free, phased funding). Check whether a current SBIR/STTR solicitation topic overlaps with this project's technology area, or contact the project directly (above) to ask.
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.
