Intel / Context Summary

NASA Goddard has made its SLE-RCF telemetry software library available for licensing, creating a dormant asset opportunity for terrestrial applications. The technology has flight heritage from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and implements the CCSDS standard, with established commercial competitor Avtec Systems validating market demand.

Catalyst: Why Now

NASA's ATLAS system doesn't publish royalty rates or historical license terms, creating an information asymmetry where potential licensees must guess at pricing while competitors like Avtec have negotiated terms.

Friction: The Bottleneck

  • Vulnerability: NASA's ATLAS system doesn't publish royalty rates or historical license terms, creating an information asymmetry where potential licensees must guess at pricing while competitors like Avtec have negotiated terms.
  • Resource capture: Proprietary NASA software royalty rate database (first of its kind)
  • Influence capture: Authority position as NASA licensing data expert
  • Required vectors: Vector: FOIA/Public Records Research

Wedge: Execution Protocol

Phase 1: FOIA Request for Software License Royalty Data: Submit FOIA request to NASA Office of Technology Transfer for: (1) All software license agreements executed in the last 5 years, (2) Redacted royalty percentage terms, (3) License type (exclusive/non-exclusive), (4) Field of use restrictions. Use FOIA.gov portal with request ID 'NASA-OT-2024-SW-ROYALTIES'. → Phase 2: Data Extraction and Standardization: When documents arrive (PDFs, spreadsheets), extract royalty percentages, license types, and software categories. Create CSV with columns: 'Software_Name', 'License_Type', 'Royalty_Percentage', 'Field_of_Use', 'Year_Signed'. Clean and normalize data.
