I'm thrilled that my recent NASA Technology Transfer University (T2U) Innovation Series presentation has now been posted on the NASA Technology Transfer Program website. During the session, I had the opportunity to share how the UNC Monfort College of Business at the University of Northern Colorado is using NASA-developed technologies to create immersive learning experiences that connect students with innovation, entrepreneurship, and real-world problem solving. One of the things I enjoy most about the T2U program is that it challenges students to think beyond the classroom. Working with actual NASA technologies, they develop commercialization concepts, engage with industry and community partners, and gain experience that prepares them to lead in an increasingly innovation-driven economy. A sincere thank you to the NASA Technology Transfer University team, especially Walt Ugalde, Mikaela McShane, and Heeya So, for the invitation and for creating opportunities that bring higher education, industry, and NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration together in such meaningful ways. #GoBears https://lnkd.in/gzrzZkMD

⚡ NASA’s Lightning-AI: Advanced Lightning Prediction Webinar Discover Lightning‑AI, a new NASA technology developed at NASA Marshall Space Flight Center with the The University of Alabama in Huntsville. Built to address a longstanding gap in lightning detection, Lightning‑AI identifies the atmospheric precursors of lightning initiation well before the first strike, providing the lead time reactive systems cannot. Using physics‑based radar signatures and deep‑learning models, Lightning‑AI delivers earlier operational insight for aviation, weather services, emergency management, spaceflight operations, and large venues. It is also designed to integrate into commercial weather platforms and automated alert systems. 📅 Tuesday, September 1, 2026 🕒 2:00 PM ET 🔗 Register to learn about licensing: https://lnkd.in/gmVQGSQN

🚀 Hybrid Propulsion Reimagined: Faster Throttling, Lower Costs, Wider Applications NASA Marshall Space Flight Center and Utah State University have developed a fast‑acting, deep‑throttling hybrid motor that delivers unprecedented control for spacecraft. This innovative design cuts throttle time in half — from 2 seconds to 1 second, with potential to reach 0.5 seconds — enabling precise attitude control, rapid maneuvering, and new mission profiles previously achievable only with complex liquid systems. 💡 Key advantages: • Ultra-fast throttle response • Safer alternative to hypergolic propellants • Lower cost and simpler propulsion architectures • Suitable for LEO spacecraft, sounding rockets, missiles, and planetary landers If your organization is advancing agile mobility in space, this hybrid motor offers a promising new path forward. 🔗 Explore the technology: https://lnkd.in/gi9nhHJJ #HybridPropulsion #AerospaceInnovation #AdvancedManufacturing #NASATechTransfer

Every breakthrough starts with a problem worth solving. Take NASA's rugged video camera. Engineers needed a camera tough enough to survive rocket launch, the vacuum of space, and the extreme temperatures of an Artemis mission. Working with a small business, they developed technology that now powers commercial cameras used in aviation, mining, drilling, and other harsh environments here on Earth, generating millions in new business along the way. That's the power of NASA innovation. That's exactly what the Moon to Mars Summit is about. Founders, innovators, and builders come together to transform NASA technology into products and companies that solve real-world problems. You won't just hear about innovation. You'll build it. All that's missing is someone willing to ask, "What could this become?" Maybe that someone is you. 📍 September 2 | Huntsville, Alabama Apply now: m2msummit.org/registration
