GMSA PSE and C&DH Environmental Testing and SmallSat Flatsat Integration

Completed TRL 5 (started at 5, targeting 6)

Description

The following goals will be accomplished by the end of fiscal year 2018:

• Complete environmental testing on the GMSA hardware

• Development of FPGA code and software to interface with other peripheral components

• Integration and test of GMSA hardware with other peripheral components

Benefits

This effort will be used to demonstrate the functionality of the GMSA hardware in a flight-like environment. In addition, there will also be an opportunity to complete testing and development with other peripheral devices.

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.
