NASA is offering licenses to companies interested in commercializing a new self-cleaning coating technology. This transparent coating, originally for space solar cells, uses electrodynamic dust shields to remove dust at half the voltage and 90% less thickness than current methods. Companies can apply for exclusive or nonexclusive rights to manufacture and market this technology for various transparent surfaces. NASA will not provide funding for these licenses.
About this opportunity
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: Reducing dust accumulation on any surface is key for lunar missions as dust can damage or impair the performance of everything from deployable systems to solar cells on the Moon’s surface. Electrodynamic dust shields (EDSs) are a key method to actively clean surfaces by running high voltages (but low currents) through electrodes…
