From the notice
NASA’s Technology Transfer Program solicits inquiries from companies interested in obtaining license rights to commercialize, manufacture and market the following technology. License rights may be issued on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis and may include specific fields of use. NASA provides no funding in conjunction with these potential licenses. THE TECHNOLOGY: Innovators at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center have developed a groundbreaking extravehicular activity (EVA)-compatible Battery Charger Module (BCM) as part of the Lunar Experiment Support System and Handling (LESSH) package. This first-of-its-kind technology is designed to provide wired battery charging capabilities to astronauts on the lunar surface or other harsh environments. With the Artemis III mission and beyond, NASA plans to deploy cutting-edge science instruments near the lunar South Pole landing site. To support extended lunar science operations, the EVA-compatible LESSH BCM offers seamless recharging and reliable hard-line data transfer at the modular interface bank on the Human Landing System (HLS) or other Artemis systems (rovers, vehicles, habitats, etc.). Engineered for astronaut ease-of-use, the LESSH BCM delivers an ergonomic interface to connect instruments to power and data systems. By combining battery charge monitoring with flexible data transfer capabilities, the BCM empowers astronauts to extend the scope and duration of operations on the Moon. The NASA invention is integral to creating a recharging infrastructure that enables sustainable, long-term lunar exploration.
