The Award database is continually updated throughout the year. As a result, data for FY24 is not expected to be complete until March, 2025.

Download all SBIR.gov award data either with award abstracts (290MB) or without award abstracts (65MB). A data dictionary and additional information is located on the Data Resource Page. Files are refreshed monthly.

The SBIR.gov award data files now contain the required fields to calculate award timeliness for individual awards or for an agency or branch. Additional information on calculating award timeliness is available on the Data Resource Page.

  1. Modular EP Diagnostic Instrumentation Cluster (MEDIC)

    SBC: MSNW LLC            Topic: AF161004

    ABSTRACT: The Modular EP Diagnostic Instrumentation Cluster (MEDIC) is a self-contained plasma diagnostic instrument suite uniquely suited to the task of characterizing and comparing thruster operation in ground test and on-orbit environments. Of paramount importance to the qualification of electric propulsion (EP) systems is the measurable influence of the ground testing and evaluation (T&E) faci ...

  2. Time-Resolved Electron Beam Fluorescence

    SBC: MSNW LLC            Topic: AF161006

    ABSTRACT: An innovative diagnostic, Time-Resolved Electron Beam Fluorescence (TREBF), will be developed that possesses the measurement capabilities needed to understand test facility effects on electric propulsion (EP) systems. Even the most advanced test and evaluation vacuum chambers are incapable of replicating the pressures encountered in geostationary earth orbits. These elevated background p ...

  3. Electric-based Combined Cycle Thruster for Multi-mode Propulsion

    SBC: MSNW LLC            Topic: AF162010

    The Electric-Based Combined Cycle (EBCC) thruster is a new approach to spacecraft propulsion that combines the high thrust of a chemical combustion system and the high Isp of an electric propulsion thruster into a single thruster. In EBCC, a chemical propellant is burned in a sub-100 N rocket within a pulsed EP system. That decomposed, hot, neutral gas is then accelerated in a 5kWclass neutral ent ...

  7. Direct Measurement of Bondline Temperature During Composite Repair/Fabrication

    SBC: ADVANCED PROCESSING TECHNOLOGY, INC.            Topic: AF161115

    ABSTRACT: Achieving desired bondline temperatures is critical to ensuring proper wetting, flow and cure when repairing composite structures.A novel method for measuring/managing cure temperature in the bondline is proposed, using patented amorphous microwire temperature sensors placed permanently within the bondline and read remotely via low-frequency electromagnetic interrogation. The interrogate ...

  10. NDI Tool for Heat Damage Detection in Composites

    SBC: Veritox            Topic: AF161121

    ABSTRACT: Incipient thermal damage (ITD) of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) composites cannot be detected by common nondestructive evaluation (NDE) methods, such as ultrasound or visual inspection.ITD, however, can reduce matrix dominated mechanical properties of composites and thus requires detection and evaluation to ensure the integrity of composite structures that may be subjected to th ...
