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

Solicitation # T2P-GSFC-00073

NASA's Technology Transfer Program is seeking companies interested in obtaining exclusive or nonexclusive license rights to commercialize the Ocellus 3D lidar system. Developed by the Goddard Space Flight Center, this lightweight, small-footprint technology enables autonomous planetary exploration vehicles to perform safe landing operations by providing high-resolution altimetry and terrain mapping. The system utilizes space-qualified components and MEMS-based mirrors to create 3D point clouds, functioning as an altimeter at altitudes around 2 km and producing detailed images and maps below 200 meters. While originally designed for the Dragonfly mission to Titan, the technology is applicable to lunar exploration, crewed aerial vehicles, in-space manufacturing, and terrestrial aerial navigation for defense or commercial sectors. Interested parties must submit a license application through the Automated Technology Licensing Application System. It is important to note that NASA provides no funding in conjunction with these licenses and no follow-on procurement is expected to result from responses to this notice.

NASA is conducting a portfolio evaluation through the 2026 Request for White Papers (Solicitation 80NSSC26R0014) to identify promising SBIR Phase II technologies for potential Sequential Phase II awards. These anticipated awards, valued between $2.5 million and $4 million, are intended to facilitate rapid post-Phase II development and technology infusion into key NASA programs. Amendment 1 has expanded eligibility to include STTR participants and firms with non-NASA prior Phase II awards. The primary objective is to map existing technologies to NASA mission priorities and provide a participatory method for small businesses to signal their readiness to support agency goals. While this call serves as a programmatic planning exercise and does not constitute a formal funding opportunity or guarantee of awards, NASA notionally anticipates reaching out to invited firms around January 2027. Interested respondents must submit a single white paper document, not exceeding 10 pages, along with a summary budget and briefing chart via the ProSAMS portal by the deadline of September 11, 2026. Submissions must include mandatory electronic forms such as Firm Certifications, Audit Information, and Disclosures of Foreign Affiliations. Evaluation will focus on Technology Readiness Level (TRL) advancement, risk reduction for NASA programs, flight demonstration readiness, and commercialization potential. The scope of work emphasizes the development of integrated systems, such as Orbital Maneuvering Vehicles for cislunar and deep space missions, requiring high performance in propulsion, communications, and radiation tolerance. NASA reserves the right to use the submitted information for any purpose and takes no financial responsibility for expenses incurred during the response process.
