Completed TRL 4 (started at 3, targeting 4)
Develop formal and informal methods of characterizing performance of flight and ground autonomous scheduling software.
The goal of this effort is to develop methods to better characterize the performance: termination, runtime, memory usage, soundness, completeness, of flight and ground scheduling methods.
Enable better characterization of autonomous scheduling techniques.
Increased efficiency of a wide range of logistical elements in space exploration and science including but not limited to: space missions, ground communciations stations, logistics, engineering operations, science operations.
Increased performance of wide range of space related systems.
Applies to a wide range of problems for USAF, DoD, NOAA, and others.
Listed on TechPort itself — the most direct way to ask about this specific project.
This is early/mid-stage (TRL 4) — 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.
