Completed TRL 2 (started at 1, targeting 2)
This project brings together three separate earth science teams in order to better understand validation instrumentation synergy that is applicable directly within NASA's Earth Science Division. It is critically needed to bring these researchers together to acquire test data that can be properly suitable for large scale Earth Venture Suborbital concepts. Specifically, we need to understand and evaluate potential chemical differences based on instrumentation types, atmospheric scanning angle, and atmospheric corrections.
By looking at metrics and statistics, we can then properly unify a measurement strategy with test data to create a new capability to match unmet needs within NASA's Earth Science Division. This will ultimately help NASA's overall validation efforts and potentially decrease the amount of effort needed to deploy individual NASA assets.
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.
