Mixed Reality Crew Assistance (MRC)
Completed
TRL 6 (started at 4, targeting 6)
Description
Mixed Reality technologies will increase the utilization of the ISS and enable greater crew autonomy for missions beyond Earth orbit. Crew activities today are governed by difficult to follow written procedures and inefficient interactions with ground operators. This effort aims to target 2x improvement in task execution speed and 50% reduction in task errors.
Benefits
NASA Funded: Improve Crew Productivity and Reduce Errors##NASA Unfunded: Asynchronous procedural assitance for long-duration crew missions##OGA: Location based procedure operations for any industry##Industry: Improve Crew Productivity and Reduce Errors##Nation: Location based procedure operations for any industry#

How to get involved
This is early/mid-stage (TRL 6) — 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.
