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 NDE technology portfolio is fragmented across centers (JSC, JPL, Langley) with inconsistent commercialization efforts. Inspection companies need credible solutions but can't navigate NASA's bureaucratic licensing process. The data gap exists between NASA's dormant patents and commercial users' inability to efficiently evaluate and license them.
