NASA is seeking companies interested in licensing, manufacturing, and commercializing the Ocellus 3D lidar for autonomous landing-site selection and terrain mapping. The compact lidar supports altimetry at about 2 km and high-resolution mapping below 200 meters, with possible space, defense, and commercial uses. Licenses may be exclusive or nonexclusive, and NASA will provide no funding. Interested companies should submit a license application through NASA’s ATLAS system.
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: 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…
