TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER OPPORTUNITY: Aerospace Vehicle Entry Flightpath Control (TOP2-303)

NASA's Technology Transfer Program is seeking companies interested in obtaining license rights to commercialize, manufacture, and market a novel yaw-to-bank control system for non-traditional aerospace vehicle configurations. The technology, developed by NASA's Pterodactyl team, provides vehicle stabilization, steering, and precise targeted landing. Key features of the technology include: • Exploitation of the dihedral effect to control bank angle • Faster bank accelerations than traditional control strategies • Enhanced vehicle maneuverability • Reduced need for control actuators • Potential for use with various aerospace vehicles and guidance control variables.
