Executive summary
Current state
NASA Johnson Space Center has dormant NDE software (MSC-TOPS-34) with aerospace-grade validation but lacks commercial distribution. The $446M+ thermography inspection market needs credible solutions but cannot access NASA's technology through bureaucratic licensing channels.
Market catalyst
NASA's technology transfer portal shows MSC-TOPS-34 as available for licensing, but internal FOIA documents reveal multiple failed licensing attempts with specific documented reasons that companies can't access. The data gap exists between NASA's internal knowledge of why licensing fails and commercial companies' inability to see these failure patterns before engaging.
