Large Balloon Reflector for Remote Sensing
This technology is a suborbital antenna system that is suitable for operation from radio to millimeter wavelengths. The technology can be used for remote sensing of objects on the ground, in the atmosphere or in space. Super pressure balloons will be used to transport the technology and to maintain payloads of 2-3 tons in near space.

Amplified Deformable Mirror (ADM)
This invention is an advancement related to deformable mirrors, which incorporates dielectric layers into the mirror’s design. These layers afford a longer stroke than can be achieved by linear actuators. The longer stroke increases the effectiveness of the deformable mirror at longer wavelengths like far infrared.
Background:
Deformable...

Multi-Static/VLBI Imaging Radar for Characterizing Space Objects
This invention is a methodology for using multi-static, long baseline imaging radar for the tracking, imaging and classification of Near-Earth Objects (NEOs).
Background:
Since the launch of Sputnik in 1957, mankind has progressively added more satellites, and consequently more debris, into Earth's orbit. As of 2013, NASA has tracked over 500,000...

Terahertz Transistor
This transistor works in the Terahertz range that modulates the bridge's conductivity in a nonlinear manner. It is a likely candidate for replacing silicon in superconducting transistors running at higher frequencies without the heating and power issues of silicon as well as advantages over III-V and spintronic technologies with both of these issues.
Background:
The...
