NASA is seeking inquiries from organizations interested in obtaining license rights to commercialize, manufacture, and market the Space Suit RoboGlove (SSRG) technology under solicitation number T2P-JSC-00066. This second-generation, robotically assisted extravehicular activity glove was developed at the NASA Johnson Space Center to reduce the physical exertion required for complex, hand-intensive tasks and minimize the risk of hand injury. NASA may issue these license rights on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis for specific fields of use, though the agency provides no funding in conjunction with the potential licenses. This opportunity is classified under NAICS 927110 Space Research and Technology and PSC 9999 Miscellaneous Items.
The SSRG technology features improved sensing, control, interface, and avionics capabilities compared to its predecessors. Key advancements include a power steering mode that assists users in maintaining finger positions and a design that retains conventional space suit glove functionality when actuators are unpowered. The system is engineered to enhance human-scale work by improving speed, power, durability, and dexterity. NASA is utilizing this notice to promote public awareness and conduct preliminary market research to determine interest in future licensing opportunities, and no follow-on procurement is expected to result from this announcement.
To express interest in this licensing opportunity, applicants must submit a license application through NASA’s Automated Technology Licensing Application System by the response deadline of February 27, 2027. Inquiries regarding this notice are managed by NASA’s Technology Transfer Program. The current notice and its associated identifiers, including the technology designation MSC-TOPS-80, serve as the primary source for this market research effort.
