A Phase III contract with NASA and DOD was awarded for the NASA EO-1 New Millenium Program
When Space Photonics was spun off as independently owned R&D company, it acquired rights to specified intellectual property, including PFO technology , by agreement between NASA and former parent
FireRing™ , successor technology developed in 1998 Phase II, has product releases scheduled for mid-2003
COMMERCIALIZATION
Government space systems Goddard is exploring various ways to use this
technology.
