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. Self-Healing Inflatable, Rigidizable Shelter for the Lunar Environment

    SBC: Adherent Technologies, Inc.            Topic: X601

    Any manned missions to extraterrestrial locations will require shelter structures for a variety of purposes ranging from habitat usage to biomass production. Such shelters need to be constructed in such a way to minimize stowed volume and payload weight. The structures must also be very durable and have the ability to survive punctures without collapsing. Ways of increasing available crew-load ...

  2. Lunar Regolith Stabilization for Excavation

    SBC: Adherent Technologies, Inc.            Topic: X502

    During lunar exploration, regolith is both the major available resource and a substantial obstacle in establishing a long-term presence. The fine surface dust is highly abrasive and can both be a health hazard for the crew and the main contributor to equipment failure. Regolith is also the only material readily available to build protective shelters for the crew to prevent exposure to lethal dos ...

  3. Foamed Antenna Support for Very Large Apertures

    SBC: Adherent Technologies, Inc.            Topic: O104

    Large aperture antennas are of interest to NASA for applications in establishing high-speed communication relays for interplanetary missions. Design goals include 20 meter apertures. In order to minimize mission costs at these large diameters, weight must be severely restricted. Adherent Technologies, Inc. (ATI) has developed two technologies for ultra-light space structures and antennas, the R ...

  4. Dust Mitigation for the Lunar Surface

    SBC: Adherent Technologies, Inc.            Topic: X502

    The lunar surface is to a large extent covered with a dust layer several meters thick. Known as lunar regolith, it poses a hazard in the form of dust clouds being generated by all forms of gas expansions in the high vacuum environment of the lunar surface. This is especially pronounced during spacecraft operations. Instruments placed on the moon by the Apollo mission showed marked degradation d ...

  5. Moisture Resistant Primer for Composite Bonded Repairs

    SBC: Adherent Technologies, Inc.            Topic: A101

    Aging and durability of aircraft in both the military and civilian sectors are becoming major issues as the existing fleet continues to age. Additionally, the increased use of composite structures in the civilian fleet, such as in the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and the Airbus A380, make the understanding and/or improvement of composite durability, particularly durability of repairs, even more critical ...

  6. Foam-in-Place Contaminant Containment System

    SBC: Adherent Technologies, Inc.            Topic: S502

    Over the next few decades, NASA plans to launch a number of planetary probes to and return the samples to Earth for detailed investigation. Due to the rapid expanse of space exploration, a need has been identified for the proper handling of extraterrestrial samples. Not only must the sample return system maintain the physical integrity of the sample in sometimes rigorous conditions (e.g., rover ...

  7. Heat Pipe Solar Receiver for Oxygen Production of Lunar Regolith

    SBC: ADVANCED COOLING TECHNOLOGIES INC            Topic: X501

    Researchers have determined that lunar soil contains approximately 43% oxygen in the lunar soil oxides, which could be extracted to provide breathable oxygen for consumption by astronauts. The proposed program will develop a solar receiver for the hydrogen reduction process that uses sodium heat pipes in the 1050oC temperature range. The heat pipe solar receiver is accepts the non-uniform solar ...

  8. VCHP Radiators for Lunar and Martian Environments

    SBC: ADVANCED COOLING TECHNOLOGIES INC            Topic: X1101

    Long-term Lunar and Martian systems present challenges to thermal systems, including changes in thermal load, and large changes in the thermal environment between day and night. The innovation in the program is the development of a variable conductance heat pipe (VCHP) that passively accommodates the changing thermal load and environment. This allows the heat pipe evaporators (and any attached h ...

  9. Nonlinear Time Reversal Acoustic Method of Friction Stir Weld Assessment

    SBC: ARTANN LABORATORIES, INC.            Topic: N/A

    The goal of the project is demonstration of the feasibility of Friction Stir Weld (FSW) assessment by novel Nonlinear Time Reversal Acoustic (TRA) method. Time reversal acoustic focusing provides the means to concentrate sound energy at any point in a material, inducing elastic nonlinear effects in the focal area. The level on nonlinearity depends on crack and defect presence and measurements of n ...

  10. Variable Emissivity Electrochromics using Ionic Electrolytes and Low Solar Absorptance Coatings

    SBC: Ashwin-Ushas Corporation            Topic: S302

    This work further developed a highly promising variable emissivity technology for spacecraft thermal control, based on unique conducting polymer (CP) electrochromics combined with ionic electrolytes, developed earlier by this firm (Air Force, JPL) with: Extremely thin (< 0.2 mm), flexible (plastic), lightweight (0.192 kg/m^2), variable area, "skin-like" construction; Delta-Emittance > 0.4, emittan ...
