Technology Development and Commercialization Program – Florida Space Grant Consortium Technology Development and Commercialization Program 2026-27 FSGC/SF- KSC Technology Development Program Kennedy Space Center (KSC) researchers develop many new technologies and make many scientific breakthroughs on a regular basis.
While all are developed for NASA’s space exploration mission, some also have the potential to provide benefit here on Earth in commercial applications. As a result, the KSC Technology Transfer Office (TTO) patents these technologies and makes them available to the private sector for commercialization.
However, many of these technologies require a significant amount of further development and testing before they can be used in any application, whether it is a NASA space application or a commercial application. As a result, KSC has once again teamed with FSGC and Space Florida to provide Florida universities with a competitive opportunity to conduct the needed development and testing of select KSC technologies.
This year’s FSGC-Space Florida-KSC Technology Development and Commercialization Program RFP have topic areas for two KSC patented technologies that fit these criteria. We are now seeking proposals to conduct needed development and testing of these technologies. We are now seeking proposals to conduct testing as described in the topic areas.
The RFP contains all publicly available information and references to available patent information for these technologies. Additional information will be provided under a Non-Disclosure Agreement with KSC.
