- Description
- NASA�s Technology Transfer Program solicits inquiries from companies interested in obtaining license rights to commercialize, manufacture and market the following technology. License rights may be issued on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis and may include specific fields of use. NASA provides no funding in conjunction with these potential licenses. THE TECHNOLOGY: NASA Goddard Space Flight Center has developed a pointing measurement detection and control system that monitors the real-time optical axis motions (such as tip and tilt) that affect image quality in aerial platforms. To date there is no known real time optical image alignment and control system available that simultaneously accommodates the combined focal plane functions of science image collection and image stabilization control. Current monitoring techniques involve replicating the science image focal plane and a separate pointing monitor system that directly compete for the exact same focal plane real-estate thus making it a one-or-the-other measurement. This technology enables correction of image degradation introduced by tip and tilt motions. This system operates in both the visible and IR spectral regions, can be adapted to different optical systems, and does not require any special manufacturing processes or materials. This innovative measurement approach utilizes a single 2-D focal plane detector array to collect the necessary science measurement image data while at the same time collecting the engineering optical axis motion detection and image control information. The innovation utilizes a standardized 'windowing' electronic control function to readout out a single column (1-D array) within a 2-D spectrometer system while the readout and control of the remaining 2-D array columns are controlled by separate and independent control electronics. To express interest in this opportunity, please submit a license application through NASA�s Automated Technology Licensing Application System (ATLAS) by visiting https://technology.nasa.gov/patent/GSC-TOPS-195 If you have any questions, please e-mail NASA�s Technology Transfer Program at Agency-Patent-Licensing@mail.nasa.gov with the title of this Technology Transfer Opportunity as listed in this beta.SAM.gov notice and your preferred contact information. For more information about licensing other NASA-developed technologies, please visit the NASA Technology Transfer Portal at https://technology.nasa.gov/ These responses are provided to members of NASA�s Technology Transfer Program for the purpose of promoting public awareness of NASA-developed technology products, and conducting preliminary market research to determine public interest in and potential for future licensing opportunities. No follow-on procurement is expected to result from responses to this Notice.
