TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER LICENSING OPPORTUNITY: Self-Cleaning Coatings for Space or Earth (KSC-TOPS-99)

NASA's Technology Transfer Program is soliciting inquiries from companies interested in obtaining license rights to commercialize, manufacture, and market a new transparent electrodynamic dust shield (EDS) technology. This technology is designed to remove dust from space and lunar solar cells, as well as other transparent surfaces, by running high voltages through electrodes on the surface. The new coatings operate at half the voltage of existing EDSs while being 90% thinner, making them more versatile and expandable across industries. • The technology is designed for use on transparent surfaces, such as solar cells and other equipment used in space and lunar missions. • The EDS operates at half the voltage of existing EDSs and is 90% thinner, making it more versatile and expandable. • The reduced thickness and lower voltage operation expand possibilities for integrating EDSs onto transparent surfaces across industries. • Interested companies should submit a license application through NASA's Automated Technology Licensing Application System (ATLAS).
