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. GaAs JFETs for Extremely Low-Noise, Deep Cryogenic Sensor Readout

    SBC: GPD Optoelectronics Corporation            Topic: S104

    Ultrasensitive sensors used in NASAs scientific missions (for example infrared sensors) typically require operation at deep cryogenic temperatures for optimum performance. However, to make full use of their performance requires an ultralow-noise preamplifier co-located in the same, or a nearby, cryogenic environment at liquid-helium (~1-4 K) or sub-Kelvin temperatures. A severe impediment to makin ...

  2. Very Low-Cost, Rugged, High-Vacuum System for Mass Spectrometers

    SBC: CREARE LLC            Topic: S109

    NASA, DoD, DHS, and commercial industry have a pressing need for miniaturized, rugged, low-cost high-vacuum systems. Recent advances in sensor technology at NASA and other government laboratories, in academia, and in industry have led to the development of very small mass spectrometer detectors as well as other analytical instruments such as scanning electronic microscopes. However, the vacuum s ...

  3. The Affordable Pre-Finishing of Silicon Carbide for Optical Applications

    SBC: CREARE LLC            Topic: S205

    Creare proposes to develop a novel, laser-assisted, pre-finishing process for chemical vapor deposition (CVD) coated silicon-carbide ceramics. Our innovation will enable the affordable single-point turning of CVD silicon carbide from a near-net shape blank to a pre-finished aspheric optic. We will use our extensive experience and expertise in the advanced machining of ceramics to establish the p ...

  4. Advanced, Long-Life Cryocooler Technology for Zero-Boil-Off Cryogen Storage

    SBC: CREARE LLC            Topic: X901

    Long-life, high-capacity cryocoolers are a critical need for future space systems utilizing stored cryogens. The cooling requirements for planetary and extraterrestrial exploration missions, Crew Exploration Vehicles, extended-life orbital transfer vehicles, and space depots will range from 10 to 50 W at temperatures between 20 and 120 K. Turbo-Brayton cryocoolers are ideal for these systems bec ...

  5. Ge Semiconductor Devices for High-Performance Cryogenic Power Electronics

    SBC: GPD Optoelectronics Corporation            Topic: N/A

    The proposed innovation is germanium power semiconductor devices (diodes and transistors) developed specifically for power-management and actuator-control circuits operating at low and cryogenic temperatures. This is important for upcoming space missions to extremely cold environments, because it can greatly reduce the need for thermal control and required spacecraft power. These missions include ...

  6. High Heat Flux Evaporator for Two Phase Transport Loops

    SBC: MIKROS MANUFACTURING            Topic: N/A

    This project addresses the development of high performance evaporators for loop heat pipes (LHP) or capillary pumped loops. Thermal management of future high-power laser instrumentation will require power dissipation of 2-5 kW at heat fluxes beyond 100 W/cm2. Although localized heat fluxes as high as 100 W/cm2 have been demonstrated using bi-disperse wicks, the maximum average heat flux capability ...

  7. A Practical Fuel Tank Inerting System for Commercial Aircraft

    SBC: CREARE LLC            Topic: N/A

    The ultimate objective of the proposed project is to develop a practical onboard, inert-gas generation system for fuel tank inerting on commercial aircraft. The system would operate autonomously and provide inert gas on demand to the fuel tank ullage. The proposed system would be based upon Total Air Liquefaction for Oxygen and Nitrogen (TALON) technology presently being developed for the U.S. Air ...

  8. Extremely Miniaturized, Turbomolecular Pump-Based Vacuum System

    SBC: CREARE LLC            Topic: N/A

    NASA and commercial industry both have a pressing need for miniaturized high vacuum pumps. Recent advances in sensor technology at NASA laboratories have led to the development of very small mass spectrometer detectors as well as other instruments such as scanning electronic microscopes. However, the vacuum systems to support these sensors remain large, heavy, and power hungry. To meet this need, ...

  9. Zero-Venting Regenerable Lightweight Heat Absorber for EVA Suits

    SBC: CREARE LLC            Topic: N/A

    Future manned space exploration missions will require life support systems that conserve resources while meeting extremely challenging requirements for light weight and small size. We propose to develop an innovative heat absorber for the thermal control system in EVA suits that is non-venting, regenerable, light weight, and compact. The system can provide 250 W of cooling for four hours with a ma ...

  10. High Performance, Microfabricated Converters for Space Science Missions

    SBC: CREARE LLC            Topic: N/A

    This proposal addresses the need for the efficient conversion of thermal energy from a radioisotope heat source to electrical energy for space science missions. We propose to develop a miniature Turbo-Brayton Power Unit (TBPU) using a closed-loop Brayton cycle to provide approximately 55 We at a sink temperature of 300 K. This TBPU promises to achieve a net thermal efficiency of 22% and have a mas ...
