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. A Scalable Gas-Particle Flow Simulation Tool for Lander Plume-Surface Interaction and Debris Prediction

    SBC: CFD RESEARCH CORPORATION            Topic: T9

    Plume-regolith interaction during propulsive landing results in (1) the liberation of dust/debris particles that may collide and strike the landing vehicle and surrounding assets obscuring ground observation for safe landing and (2) craters that are formed on the landing surface, posing additional challenges to vehicle stability and surface operations. The Gas-Granular Flow Solver (GGFS) had previ ...

  2. Conformal, Peel-and-Stick Ferrite Waveguide Embedded in Road Striping

    SBC: NANOHMICS INC            Topic: 190FH1

    The means to communicate real-time safety information to vehicles on a roadway are currently under development. Early indications show this advanced warning system along roadways would significantly enhance driver safety. However, incorporating such a system on rural highways is a particularly challenging element for the universal deployment of the system due to the vast mileage without the necess ...

  3. Resilient Wayside Structures to Reduce Severity of Passenger Equipment Collisions

    SBC: PROTECTION ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS LLC            Topic: 171FR3

    Additional passenger fatalities/injuries can occur during derailments involving interaction with wayside structures. Analogously, automobile fatalities often result from interaction of vehicles with roadside structures; personnel hazard reduction is a key design criterion for roadside structures. A similar approach for railroad wayside structures can be followed by incorporating damage mitigating ...

  4. Neuromorphic Spacecraft Fault Monitor

    SBC: Exploration Institute, LLC            Topic: H6

    The goal of this work is to develop a low power machine learning anomaly detector. The low power comes from the type of machine learning (Spiking Neural Network (SNN)) and the hardware the neuromorphic anomaly detectornbsp;runs on. The ability to detect and react to anomalies in sensor readings on board resource constrained spacecraft is essential, now more than ever, as enormous satellite constel ...

  5. Simple Reliable Retractable Lunar Lander Solar Array

    SBC: NEXOLVE HOLDING CO LLC            Topic: H5

    Deployable photovoltaic solar arrays are currently the most widely used power source for spacecraft applications. These deployable array systems have been optimized for maximum specific power (W/kg) and maximum specific packaging volume (W/m3) for a given array size and power requirement in a microgravity environment. The structural requirements for these systems have traditionally been derived fr ...

  6. Silicon Carbide-Based Power Electronics for Small Fission Reactors

    SBC: CFD RESEARCH CORPORATION            Topic: Z1

    Fission power systems (FPS) are a candidate power source for long duration NASA surface missions to the Moon and Mars, and offer significant advantages over competing options, including longer life, operational robustness, and mission flexibility. Electronics associated with the power conversion and power management and distribution (PMAD) systems in FPS have to operate reliably under high tempera ...

  7. Generative Adversarial Networks for Real-Time Realistic Physics Simulations

    SBC: LYNNTECH INC.            Topic: Z11

    NASA is seeking to develop real-time realistic nondestructive evaluation (NDE) and structural health monitoring (SHM) physics-based simulations and automated data reduction/analysis methods for large datasets. We propose the combination of a neural network approach with a traditional finite element simulation to generate realistic thermal-based NDE methods for precise determination of structural d ...

  8. Measurement and Modeling of High Speed Polydisperse Granular Flow Under Plume/Surface Interaction Conditions

    SBC: CFD RESEARCH CORPORATION            Topic: Z7

    The regolith particle flow induced by propulsive spacecraft landing on the unprepared surfaces of Moon and Mars occurs in a combination of complex environments that combine low gravity, little or no atmosphere, with rocket exhaust gas flow that is supersonic and partially rarefied, and unusual mechanical properties of the regolith. Of these environmental factors, characterizing the regolith granul ...

  9. Refractory Metal Coated Uranium Nitride Fuel for Nuclear Thermal Propulsion

    SBC: Plasma Processes, LLC            Topic: Z10

    NTP is a critical technology needed for human missions to Mars due to its high specific impulse (Isp).nbsp; To reduce cost and potential burdensome security and handling requirements, low enriched uranium (LEU) fuel is desired.nbsp; The high uranium density of uranium nitride (UN) over uranium oxide (UO2) favors the use of UN for the LEU option.nbsp; However, similar to UO2, techniques are needed ...

  10. Inexpensive Fault Tolerant Composable Unmanned Aircraft Systems Avionics

    SBC: WINDHOVER LABS LLC            Topic: A2

    Windhover Labs proposes to create an inexpensive fault tolerant avionics package for Groups 1 and 2 Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) (less than 55 lbs).nbsp; Windhover Labs has already developed an open-source flight software backbone and ecosystem, called Airliner, built upon Core Flight System (CFS) created by NASA, with a path to FAA certification.nbsp; The new avionics will have 2 sets of compu ...
