HOW THE PROCESS WORKS: APEX has anonymized the information below due to the competitive nature of the solicitations and proposal environment. If you find an interest, please contact Michael Bianco using the input form below. Include the APEX assigned number or list of numbers to which you want to be introduced. The table columns designate whether the organization seeking a partner is a company or a university and the kind of organization sought for a partnership. The table also includes a technology description of what the advertising organization brings to the table (technology brought) and what the advertising organization seeks in a partner (technology sought) as well as the technical competencies of the desired partner. Once you respond with the APEX assigned number(s) you are interested in meeting, we will review the request with the researcher seeking a partner and get their approval to release additional information to both parties and connect the two of you to explore a collaboration. Once we connect parties, we leave it up to you to discuss if interests, objectives, and capabilities are aligned.

APEX assigned number Sort ascending Organization type Type of partner being sought Technology and/or capabilities brought into the proposal Technology and/or capabilities sought in a partner or subcontractor Areas of technical competence requested in a partner or subcontractor What component or agency are you interested in?

84 Research Institute Small Business We specialize in space robotics focusing on contact dynamics, system dynamics, and GNC areas. We have developed the six state-of-the-art technologies for space robotic systems as follows: (1) contact dynamics modeling and simulation of complex robotic operations such as docking, capturing and ORU replacing; (2) simultaneous measurement of contact-dynamics model parameters (contact stiffness, damping, and friction) from ground-based hardware tests; (3) AI enhanced sensing or experimental data processing; (4) decentralized control for a distributed multi-spacecraft/robot team to achieve a team goal with physical and safety constraints; (5) optimal control of a robotic arm for safe and minimum-disturbance capture in orbit; (6) Reinforcement learning based adaptive control of robotic operation without the need of path planning. We have completed the theoretical development of these new methods and published the results in high-impact journals and conferences. Now we are seeking opportunities to raise TRL level of these methods by conducting lab-based experimental testing either at university or industry. We also seek opportunities to transit the technologies into space systems for possible flight testing and integrated into commercial space products. We are looking for industrial partners who are experienced with developing spacecraft and/or robotic systems or solutions (hardware or software) and need any one of the above-mentioned six key technology areas to enable or enhance their products or future services. We already have our own lab facilities (e.g., planar and spherical air-bearing test rigs, indoor GPS, robotic arms and vehicles, etc.) but we are seeking industrial design/test/flight expertise to strengthen our experimental research and technology transition.

82 Small Business I am offering my expertise to those in need We provide Space Infrastructure as a Service - meaning we integrate partner/customer space instruments and payloads on our satellites using modular capabilities, procure launch services, and provide secure, lifecycle on-orbit operations and mission downlink services. We are mission-agnostic, payload-agnostic, and offer mission-enhancing services in a shared-service model. You won't be second-fiddle to some primary payload, won't pay for costly modifications to the bus, and won't have to modify your payload to meet our interfaces. We can support single payloads, multiple payloads on one spacecraft, or multiple copies of one or more payloads on multiple spacecraft. We are looking for any partners - government space agencies, commercial instrument developers, universities, nonprofits - who need to get their instruments or other payloads to space quickly and inexpensively. We can lower your cost-to-orbit, speed your time-to-orbit, and/or lower your cost hurdle for ROI by allowing you to avoid the significant capital expenses to put a dedicated satellite to orbit and operate it for several years.
