The technology has been successfully
AI helper
Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) is seeking a licensee for their Spacecraft Speedometer technology. This technology provides real-time velocity measurements for satellites without relying on GPS, making it ideal for small satellites, cubesats, deep space missions, and situations where GPS is unreliable (low altitudes, high radiation, geomagnetic storms). The system uses a dual-sensor head electrostatic analyzer (ESA) to analyze ambient space plasma charged particles. Key advantages include direct in-situ velocity measurement, a compact and low-power design, enhanced space weather monitoring capabilities, and increased accuracy for satellite tracking. The technology has a Technology Readiness Level 3, with component prototypes built and proof-of-concept testing completed. It is patent pending. LANL is looking for a manufacturing partner or system integrator to refine production and deploy this technology into commercial and defense satellite markets. Interested parties should contact licensing@lanl. gov.

This notice describes the ELROI (Extremely Low-Resource Optical Identifier) technology developed by Los Alamos National Laboratory. ELROI is a simple, easy-to-fly, solar-powered beacon that attaches to satellites to provide definitive post-launch identification. It addresses the growing problem of space traffic management by enabling faster and more reliable identification than conventional methods. Key advantages include ultra-low size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP-C), no RF interference, autonomous and passive operation, fast and robust identification, scalability, and a resilient design. The technology is at Technology Readiness Level 8 and is protected by US patents. Next steps involve scaling up beacon manufacturing, expanding the ground network, and encouraging operator adoption. Market applications include space traffic management, regulatory compliance, mission assurance, end-of-life management, and commercial launch services. This is not a call for external services for the development of this technology, but rather an offering for licensing opportunities.
