| Prime | National Aeronautics and Space Administration National Aeronautics and Space Administration | PHASE II SBIR SERPENTINE INTEGRATED GRATING SPECTROMETER FOR EXTREME PRECISION RADIAL VELOCIMETRY | — | $898,902 | Jun 18, 2026 | Aug 5, 2025 – Aug 5, 2027 |
| Prime | National Aeronautics and Space Administration National Aeronautics and Space Administration | WE PROPOSE TO IMPLEMENT TWO NEW SENSING MODALITIES COMPRISING THE MULTIMODAL AGILE RANGING AND VELOCIMETRY INSTRUMENT (MARVIN) USING A NOVEL ACOUSTO-OPTIC STRUCTURED LIGHT IMAGING MODULE (SLIM) PREVIOUSLY DEVELOPED UNDER THE NASA PIDDP PROGRAM FOR PLANETARY ROVER NAVIGATION AND GEOMORPHOLOGY. BASED ON AN ACOUSTO-OPTIC ILLUMINATION ENGINE, SLIM CONSUMES ONLY 10-20W OF POWER, WEIGHS LESS THAN A KILOGRAM, COULD FIT IN A SHIRT POCKET, AND USES SPACE-PROVEN COMPONENTS WITHOUT MOVING PARTS TO RAPIDLY GENERATE AND PRECISELY CONTROL LASER ILLUMINATION PATTERNS. THROUGH MODIFICATIONS OF SLIM HARDWARE AND ALGORITHMS, MARVIN ENABLES TRIANGULATION-BASED WIDE-FIELD ACTIVE 3D IMAGING OF NEARBY SCENES WITH MM-SCALE RESOLUTION AT DISTANCES UP TO 10M EVEN IN THE PRESENCE OF FULL SUNLIGHT, AS WELL AS MULTI-BEAM TIME-OF-FLIGHT (TOF) CM-RESOLUTION RANGING AND DOPPLER VELOCIMETRY AT DISTANCES OF HUNDREDS OF METERS, OR POTENTIALLY EVEN FURTHER. MARVIN CAN SWITCH BETWEEN THE TWO MODES SIMPLY BY MOVING A LENS. MARVIN COMPUTES EACH RANGE POINT IN PARALLEL AND INDEPENDENTLY, IS ROBUST ACROSS A WIDE RANGE OF AMBIENT LIGHTING, TEXTURES, AND ALBEDOS, AND IS COMPUTATIONALLY SIMPLE, INCREASING ROVER AUTONOMY, EVEN IN LOW LIGHT, AND REDUCING TRAVERSE AND SCIENCE OPERATION DOWN-TIMES. MARVIN S LOW-SWAP AND AGILITY ALSO BENEFIT EDL, STATION KEEPING, TERRAIN MAPPING, AND PROXIMITY OPERATIONS. MARVIN COULD BE USED AS A FASTER, MORE ROBUST, HIGH-PRECISION PRIMARY RANGE SENSOR FOR EXPLORATION OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM, INCLUDING MARS, THE MOON, OCEAN WORLDS, AND ASTEROIDS. THE PHASE I EFFORT INCLUDED FEASIBILITY AND BENEFIT STUDIES, SIMULATIONS AND ALGORITHM DEVELOPMENT, NOISE AND PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS, A PROOF-OF-CONCEPT LAB DEMONSTRATION OF MANY-BEAM MARVIN RANGING, AND AN OPTOMECHANICAL DESIGN, BRINGING MARVIN TO TRL3. THE PHASE II EFFORT AIMS TO ADVANCE THIS DESIGN, DEVELOP REQUISITE ELECTRONICS, IMPLEMENT A MARVIN PROTOTYPE, AND TEST IT ON THE MAST OF A JPL ROVER, ADVANCING MARVIN FROM TRL3 TO TRL4. | — | $717,871 | Oct 13, 2021 | Aug 14, 2019 – Apr 21, 2022 |
