Completed TRL 6 (started at 5, targeting 6)
This is a follow-on to the software portion of the IDEAS project. In this project we are proposing the further development of the procedure (Atlas-Work) component of the IDEAS software suite. The proposed advancement would make the procedure application compatible with ground operations procedures from existing tools, as well as compatibility with the Procedure Representation Language (PRL) developed at Johnson Space Center (JSC). This project delivered the IDEAS Software Suite running on an Android Operating System-compatible Smart Glasses device. Suite would be running the improved Atlas-Work app as described above. This app would, in addition, be able to send relevant telemetry from the procedure to the IDEAS Console application
Existing procedure software available off-the-shelf has been developed specifically for use on devices such as laptops and tablets. JSC, JPL, and KSC have independently developed procedure software that is compatible with Smart-Glasses wearable devices. This project proposes to take the technology developed and make it compatible. In addition, this proposal will conclude with the first smart-glasses device that is compatible with the systems currently in use by ground operations.
Listed on TechPort itself — the most direct way to ask about this specific project.
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.
