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

NASA’s Technology Transfer Program is offering license rights to its Ocellus 3D lidar system, a lightweight, compact, low‑power sensor designed for autonomous planetary landing site selection and terrain mapping. The technology can perform altimetry at ~2 km altitude and produce high‑resolution (centimeter‑scale) terrain maps and images below 200 m, supporting missions such as Dragonfly on Titan and potential defense or commercial space applications. Interested parties must submit a license application via NASA’s ATLAS portal; NASA provides no funding for development, and the license may be exclusive or non‑exclusive with specific fields of use.
