TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER OPPORTUNITY: 3D Lidar for Autonomous Landing Site Selection (GSC-TOPS-353)

Description: NASA solicits inquiries from companies seeking license rights to commercialize, manufacture, and market the Ocellus 3D lidar for autonomous landing-site selection and related navigation applications. The technology is available for patent licensing, and interested parties must submit a license application through NASA’s Automated Technology Licensing Application System. NASA provides no funding for the potential licenses, and no follow-on procurement is expected from responses to the notice.

Technology Transfer Opportunity: 3D Lidar for Autonomous Landing Site Selection (GSC-TOPS-353) RFP
Next generation autonomous planetary exploration missions require advanced sensing capabilities for choosing proper landing areas for the vehicles. Current tools do not have the capability to allow vehicles outside the range of terrestrial control to autonomously perform safe landing operations. The Ocellus 3D lidar developed by the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center is a lightweight, small-footprint 3D lidar system for planetary and lunar exploration. The new 3D lidar can perform both altimetry (or range-finding) measurements from high altitudes and, at lower altitudes, terrain mapping and imaging. See outside link.

Technology Transfer Licensing Opportunity: 3d-printed Injector for Cryogenic Fluid Management (MFS-TOPS-104)
Developed a system to minimize boil-off during cryogen transfer and storage using an additive manufactured injector with an augmented thermodynamic venting system (TVS). Cryogenic fluid transfer is important for both ground and space-based systems and typically requires venting of a receiver vessel during the chill and fill process to maintain a pressure favorable to fluid flow. NASA's TVS Augmented Injector offers an alternative system that gradually cools the inside of receiving tanks, improving cryogenic fluid transfer and storage efficiency and minimizing or eliminating the time the receiver tank vent needs to be open. The injector is a small piece of 3D-printed hardware that can be easily used with or integrated into tanks or filling equipment in any space or industrial application where a cryogenic fluid is being transferred. The injector may also be employed for long-term cryogenic fluid storage as a means of controlling tank pressure if integrated with a recirculation pump.

TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER OPPORTUNITY: Lunar Experiment Support System and Handling (LESSH) Battery Charger Module (BCM) (GSC-TOPS-362)
NASA's Technology Transfer Program is soliciting license applications for the Lunar Experiment Support System and Handling Battery Charger Module, rather than grant applications. The technology provides wired battery charging, battery monitoring, and high-speed data transfer for lunar instruments, rovers, habitats, and other harsh-environment applications. This Special Notice is open through August 11, 2027, and states that no follow-on procurement is expected from responses.
