TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER OPPORTUNITY: Lightweight, Self-Deployable Helical Antenna (MFS-TOPS-113)

NASA’s Technology Transfer Program is seeking companies interested in licensing a lightweight, self‑deployable helical antenna designed for SmallSat missions. The antenna is under 2 g, occupies ≤1.2 cm³, and compresses to ~0.7 mm thickness, delivering ≥10 dBi gain across S‑, X‑, and Ka‑bands. License rights may be exclusive or non‑exclusive and can cover specific fields of use; NASA provides no development funding. Interested parties must submit a license application via NASA’s ATLAS portal. • Antenna designed for mass‑ and volume‑constrained spacecraft; suitable for LEO, lunar, and deep‑space SmallSat communications. • Performance specs: ≤2 g mass, ≤1.2 cm³ volume, ≤0.7 mm stowage thickness, ≥10 dBi gain. • Licensing process is conducted through NASA’s ATLAS system; no additional procurement or funding is attached to this notice.
