Completed TRL 6 (started at 3, targeting 6)
We will develop a low size, weight, and power (SWaP) x-ray spectrometer for small platforms that is capable of measuring large x-ray fluxes, such as those that are produced by solar flares, without saturation or degradation.
This will enable new missions that will improve our understanding of solar physics and space weather.
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.
