Completed TRL 5 (started at 3, targeting 5)
Address a gap in control system architecture studies by developing an integrated guidance and control (G&C) system that provides a feasible maneuvering and precision landing capability for Deployable Entry Vehicles, to include studying feasible guidance algorithms for autonomy, realistic sizing for control system, and identification of control mechanisms needed for integration with vehicle configuration.
Devlop an integrated guidance and control (G&C) system for Deployable Entry Vehicles that provides a feasible maneuvering and precision landing capability for autonomous operations
Listed on TechPort itself — the most direct way to ask about this specific project.
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.
