Free Engineering Support from SATOP

Does your small business face a technical challenge? The Space Alliance Technology Outreach Program (SATOP) wants to help. SATOP is designed to make the know-how of the U.S. Space Program available to small businesses (up to 500 employees) to encourage economic growth and raise public awareness of the space industry.

SATOP can provide up to 40 hours of FREE technical assistance for qualified requests, utilizing the vast engineering expertise of NASA and participating Alliance Partners. The program is intended to help solve technical challenges that cannot be resolved by the company's internal resources, or by commercially available services.

Areas of expertise for SATOP include (but are not limited to) optics, robotics, mechanical, manufacturing, industrial, materials, structural, facilities, chemical, electrical, electronics, and environmental engineering. Please note that SATOP cannot address software or Information Technology requests.

Applying to SATOP is simple – just fill out the short Request for Technical Assistance form on SATOP's web site www.spacetechsolutions.com. SATOP will work to connect your request with an engineer at one of their Space Alliance Partners for a resolution.
