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. Cooperative Control and Localization of Multiple Spacecraft using a Multi-Agent Mission Operations System

    SBC: INTERSTEL TECHNOLOGIES INC            Topic: T4

    Multi-satellite swarms are becoming very popular due to their low costs and short development time. Instead of large and costly monolithic satellites, small satellite swarms can be flown as distributed sensing platforms for atmospheric sampling, distributed antennas, and synthetic apertures among other exciting applications, delivering an even greater mission capability. This project contributes t ...

  2. Side-Emitting Optical Fibers for Delivery of UV-C Light to Disinfect Key Bacteria in Space Station Water and Storage and Conveyance Systems

    SBC: H2O INSIGHTS LLC            Topic: T6

    Bacteria in water and surface-attached biofilms pose health and operational challenges in human support systems. Current biofilm control technologies (i.e., hydrophobic surfaces, biocide-impregnated plastic coatings, chemical biocides, mercury-based lamps or light emitting diodes (LEDs)) either work for a very short duration, lead to residual chemical by-products of concern, have impractical physi ...

  3. Model and Testing Based Assurance of COTS Systems in Space Radiation Environments

    SBC: ALPHACORE INC            Topic: T6

    The use of COTS (Commercial Off-The-Shelf) parts in space for electronics is increasingly becoming a significant enabler for many capabilities during a mission. This STTR project will provide a better understanding of the feasibility of COTS electronics for High Performance Computing (HPC) in space environments which are already heavily shielded. This STTR team (Alphacore + Van ...

  4. Controlling Silver Release from Antimicrobial Surface Coatings for Biofouling Control

    SBC: CACTUS MATERIALS, INC.            Topic: T6

    Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) are used for the functionalization of surfaces in order to achievenbsp;antimicrobial properties and control biofilm growth. The antimicrobial activity of Ag NPs is attributed to thenbsp;release of Ag + ion, which means that Ag NPs need to be soluble to achieve microbial inactivation.nbsp;However, because of this constant silver release, Ag NPs rapidly dissolve away fr ...

  5. Ensuring Correct Sensor Operation and Decisions Under Harsh Environments

    SBC: ALPHACORE INC            Topic: T13

    In the STTR Phase I solicitation for Topic T13.01 Intelligent Sensor Systems, NASA called for development of sensor systems with capabilities to measure the health and accuracy of the sensor, to detect anomalies, and to function in extreme environments. Alphacore and its Research Partner, Arizona State University, developed a framework in Phase I for self-calibrating sensors, backed by artificial ...

  6. Smallsat Swarm Sparse Aperture SAR for Recon and Surveillance (SSSASAfRaS)

    SBC: VISSIDUS TECHNOLOGIES INC            Topic: T4

    The goal of Phase II work is to further advance the TRL of the swarm coordination and control algorithms from the current estimated TRL 3 to a TRL 4-5. The technical objectives proposed for Phase II are divided into two broad categories that support the goal. One category includes continuation and refinement of the work performed in Phase I and the other category includes new work, some of which h ...

  7. Aperiodic Lattice Design Optimization for Multi-Functional Lightweight Aerospace Structures

    SBC: PHOENIX ANALYSIS & DESIGN TECHNOLOGIES INC            Topic: T3

    The primary innovation proposed is the development of a lattice design tool that combines concepts from topology and parameter optimization to generate lattice materials that are aperiodic in nature and do not require a priori definition of cell size. With Additive Manufacturing, we can now specify detail to a degree previously not possible. In the context of cellular materials, however, it is not ...

  8. Development of the Integrated Water Recovery Assembly (IRA) for Recycling Habitation Wastewater

    SBC: PARAGON SPACE DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION            Topic: T603

    Paragon Space Development Corporation and our partner Research Institution Texas Tech University (TTU) propose to continue development of a spacecraft habitat wastewater recycling system that integrates 1) a TTU Membrane Aerated Biological Reactor (MABR), 2) Nafion Membrane Water Purification (NWP) distillation technology, and 3) gas-phase trace contaminant removal (GTCR) to realize a low-mass, lo ...

  9. Ultrastable and Compact Deep UV Laser Source for Raman Spectroscopy

    SBC: TIPD LLC            Topic: T801

    Deep-ultraviolet (DUV) Raman spectroscopy is a powerful method to isolate and extract the unique signatures of numerous chemical bonds present within complex samples. DUV (λ < 250 nm) excitation is critical for NASA missions because it shows an over 200-fold greater efficiency compared to commonly used 785 nm excitation and illumination as such short wavelengths minimizes the fluorescence backgro ...

  10. Ultra High Temperature Refractory Materials

    SBC: ADVANCED CERAMICS MANUFACTURING, LLC            Topic: T1001

    Legacy refractory materials that have origins dating to the original Saturn program are commonly used in current launch facilities. Although they fail to meet the target requirements, they are the only approved material. Our research team has demonstrated a baseline system during the Phase I effort that combines a non-cement binder, a high temperature macro aggregate, and reactive nano aggregates ...
