TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER LICENSING OPPORTUNITY: RFID Range Extension and Priority Data Forwarding (MSC-TOPS-128)

This opportunity is for a technology transfer licensing agreement with NASA for an adaptable Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system. The system optimizes transmission for priority data as targets move in and out of passive coverage areas, extending the range and reducing data latency of ultra-low power battery-assisted passive (BAP) RFID sensor tags. The technology has been developed by innovators at NASA Johnson Space Center and is available for licensing on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis. • The technology is at a readiness level of 4, which means that component performance has been validated in a lab setting. • The system is designed to support autonomous operations in complex environments where RFID interrogator access may be strained. • The technology has potential applications in areas such as monitoring for life-threatening CO2 levels in spacecraft cabins. • NASA provides no funding in conjunction with these potential licenses. • Interested companies can submit a license application through NASA's Automated Technology Licensing Application System (ATLAS).
