Demonstration of One-Fault Tolerant Precision Navigation for Autolanding Airless Bodies: Flight Two
Canceled
TRL 5 (started at 5, targeting 5)
Description
No information available.
Benefits
This technology enables the safe, precise vehicular autolanding on unmapped asteroids, comets, outer planet moons, as well as planetry landing sites near polar peaks, crater rims, and skylights on the moon and Mars. By enabling missions to destinations with challenging topography and limited communication, this technology will benefit the commercial space industry and future NASA missions.

How to get involved
This is early/mid-stage (TRL 5) — 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.
