Expertise

The personnel at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center are leaders in the fields of electronics, guidance and navigation, information technology, optics, sensors, and scientific analysis. In most partnership or other technology transfer agreements, developers of Goddard technologies are available to help guide new implementations of those innovations. As a result, organizations that partner with us gain access to unique expertise.

For example, the IPP Office helped develop two agreements with U.S. companies needing assistance with SpaceWire—a network fabric used to move information defined in packets, providing flexibility, modularity, and reusability. Goddard will be providing Aeroflex, Inc., and Harris Corporation guidance as they develop SpaceWire technologies or build their knowledge of and skill with the SpaceWire standard. As a result, these companies will be better able to respond to future needs for SpaceWire-based communication devices at NASA and within the rest of the aerospace market.
