Completed TRL 2 (started at 1, targeting 2)
Our objective is to further advance our understanding and accuracy of magnetic electron spectrometer measurements for a single look-direction instrument
We anticipate that by fully characterizing the leakage magnetic field of the magnet section of a particular instrument we can demonstrate that, with proper shielding, it can be onboard an orbital flight very close to other instruments that could be affected by it without the shielding. This is particularly important in the case of cubesats where it is difficult to have any meaningful separation between instruments.
Listed on TechPort itself — the most direct way to ask about this specific project.
This is early/mid-stage (TRL 2) — 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.
