The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Technology Transfer Program is soliciting inquiries from companies interested in obtaining license rights to commercialize, manufacture, and market the Space Suit RoboGlove (SSRG) technology under solicitation number T2P-JSC-00066. This special notice falls under NAICS 927110 Space Research and Technology and PSC 9999 MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS. License rights may be granted on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis for specific fields of use, though NASA provides no funding in conjunction with these potential licenses. Responses are due by February 27, 2027, and will be used to conduct market research and promote public awareness of NASA-developed technology. No follow-on procurement is expected to result from this notice.
The SSRG is a second-generation, robotically assisted extravehicular activity (EVA) glove developed at the NASA Johnson Space Center. It is designed to decrease the exertion required for complex hand-intensive tasks and reduce the risk of astronaut hand injury through improved sensing, control, and avionics. The technology features a power steering mode that assists the user in holding finger positions, though the glove remains functional as a conventional space suit glove when actuators are unpowered. The design focuses on enhancing human-scale work with specific considerations for speed, power, durability, dexterity, and ease of operation.
Interested parties must submit a license application through NASA’s Automated Technology Licensing Application System (ATLAS). The agency is using this process to identify potential for future licensing opportunities for the SSRG technology, which originated from the NASA/General Motors RoboGlove and earlier first-generation iterations.
