Additively Manufactured Propulsion Catalysts Licensing Opportunity
NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION
NASA's Technology Transfer Program is seeking companies interested in obtaining license rights to commercialize, manufacture, and market additively manufactured propulsion catalysts. This technology is designed for mono-propulsion systems, where a propellant flows across a catalyst to generate thrust. The new method utilizes additively manufactured ultra-fine lattice structures, improving repeatability, thruster reactivity, and tailorability while reducing cost and lead time compared to conventional methods. Interested parties can submit a license application through NASA's Automated Technology Licensing Application System (ATLAS) at https://technology.nasa.gov/patent/MFS-TOPS-120. 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.
