2021 Technology Exposition

Want to learn about advanced SmallSat technologies that could enable your future mission or be accessed for commercialization? Sign up to attend the SmallSat Technology Partnerships (STP) Technology Exposition being held Monday, May 24.

The virtual STP TechExpo, co-hosted by NASA’s Small Spacecraft Systems Virtual Institute (S3VI) and the Small Spacecraft Technology (SST) program, will highlight advanced communications, navigation, constellation coordination, and other SmallSat technologies emerging from recent university-NASA partnerships funded under SST’s STP initiative. STP teams in attendance will answer questions about technology transfer for your mission or product.

Technologies highlighted at the TechExpo include:

  • Enhanced Power Generation and Storage,
  • Cross-linking Communications Systems,
  • Relative Navigation for Multiple Small Spacecraft,
  • Instruments and Sensors for Small Spacecraft Science Missions,
  • Instruments for SmallSats incl. those Enabling Multipoint Measurements from Multiple SmallSats,
  • Technologies that Enable Large Swarms of Small Spacecraft, and
  • Technologies that Enable Deep Space Small Spacecraft Missions

The STP initiative receives proposals from U.S. universities partnered with a NASA Center. It has four primary objectives: develop needed SmallSat technologies for NASA; engage university students in real-world SmallSat projects; provide student teams with NASA expertise and facilities; and allow NASA engineers to gain insights into the innovative and rapid development paradigm typical of academia. The SST program has awarded five rounds of these awards since 2013. Projects are awarded for up to two years with subsequent opportunities for suborbital or orbital flight demonstrations.

Please sign-up to attend the 2021 TechExpo by sending an email to the S3VI at agency-smallsat-institute@mail.nasa.gov

We’ll see you there!
