Goddard SmallSat Technology and Capabilities


NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center brings years of expertise in small satellite technology development and mission planning to the SmallSat community.

Want to partner with NASA? There are several ways to work with us:

  1. Technology License: Through NASA's Technology Transfer (T2) Program, members of the public can license patented technologies for their own use, saving valuable time and resources. Hundreds of programs are available for free from the T2 Program's Software Catalog as well. Instead of starting from scratch, companies and universities can incorporate Goddard technologies into their mission design, freeing up resources for other parts of the mission.
  2. Launch Facilities: Use our launch facilities at the Wallops Flight Facility through formed agreements.
  3. Integration and Test Facilities: Use our labs and environmental test facilities through partnerships, collaborations and formed agreements.
  4. Mission Proposals: Partner with us on your next mission with access to world-class scientist, managers and engineers.
  5. Technology Developments: If you have a technology need in common with us, we can develop the technology together sharing expertise and resources through no-funding exchange agreements.
  6. Integration with the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program for furthering technological developments.

Below, you will find some of the technologies and capabilities available for licensing or partnership. For a more complete list of Goddard SmallSat technologies, please click here.
