NASA's Langley Research Center researchers offer you methods for particle contamination mitigation. The methods were developed for exploration of surfaces such as Moon, Mars, and asteroids. During past missions, lunar dust caused an array of issues including compromised seals, clogged filters, abraded visors and space suit surfaces, and was a significant health concern. NASA's novel methods for particle contamination mitigation include both controlled chemical and topographical modifications. These methods offer a wealth of applications and commercial opportunities. The benefits include films, coatings, and surface treatments with antifouling, dust resistance, hydrophobic to superhydrophic, low adhesion/friction, and self-cleaning characteristics. NASA is seeking development partners.

Sprowtt Launch Pad Inc. was founded in 2019 as a subsidiary of Sprowtt Inc. Sprowtt, the parent company established in 2012, is a financial technology (FinTech) company that specializes in creating capital formation and revenue generating software platforms for the burgeoning capital raising industry created by the JOBS Act for medium sized issuer companies. Sprowtt Launch Pad Inc. plans to lead a robust federal lab-to-market campaign designed to stimulate technology transfer of U.S> government patanetdd inventions with strong market potential. This will be done through broad participation by leading colleges and universities and individual entrepreneurs, and focus on supporting commercialization of a wide-ranege of high-tech prodcust and services with technlgocal roots in the deferral government. The inititive will be enabled by the development and operation of Sprowtt’s Technlogy Transfer Gateway. The management team of Sprowtt Launch Pad has five decades of entrepreneurial experience, and has numerous years of experience successfully launching and managing more than a dozen early-stage ventures. The Sprowtt Launch Pad team has collectively raised several rounds of early stage capital and knows what it takes to launch a successful early stage company. The Sprowtt Launch Pad team has the experience to facilitate bringing together the right technology with the right entrepreneurs and partner them with the U.S. government technology transfer professionals to license the inteletual property. Sprowtt Lauch Pad is comitted to building successful early stage companies based on team relationships. Confidence and experience are important in bringing attractive and growing companies to our platform. All Americans now have the same opportunity to participate in Sprowtt Launch Pad through team building, with the right technologies available through governmentsponsored technology transfer programs.
