NASA’s Technology Transfer Program is soliciting inquiries from organizations interested in licensing a coil-on-plug ignition system developed at the NASA Johnson Space Center. This technology was designed for integrated liquid oxygen and liquid methane thermal-vacuum environment propulsion systems to mitigate corona discharge issues and reduce overall mass. By combining the coil and spark plug into a single component, the system eliminates bulky standalone coil-packs and high-voltage cables. NASA modified off-the-shelf automotive systems for these aerospace applications, and testing has confirmed the technology's ability to enable integrated propulsion systems in future spacecraft.
This licensing opportunity, identified as T2P-JSC-00058, falls under NAICS 927110 Space Research and Technology and PSC 9999 Miscellaneous Items. NASA may issue license rights on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis for specific fields of use to companies interested in commercializing, manufacturing, or marketing the technology. The agency provides no funding in conjunction with these licenses, and no follow-on procurement is expected to result from this notice.
Inquiries and license applications are being accepted through July 17, 2026. The information gathered through this special notice serves to promote public awareness and conduct market research regarding interest in NASA-developed technology. All communication is managed by NASA’s Technology Transfer Program.
