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. Omni-Directional Stereographic Imaging System

    SBC: ACTALITY, INC.            Topic: T502

    The overarching challenge of tele-presence is to provide an environment to the human operator that is sufficiently familiar that the interface itself does not become burdensome and distract from the goals of the mission. The ultimate achievement would be to embed the operator into a scene in such a way as to convince him or her that they are actually on site. We propose a technology that can pot ...

  2. Hubless Flywheel with Null-E Magnetic Bearings

    SBC: CALNETIX            Topic: T302

    For space-born energy storage systems, the energy to weight ratio is extremely important. From this perspective, a hubless flywheel energy storage design is very advantageous since most of the flywheel energy is stored in its outer circumference, while the core significantly adds to the system weight. One of the problems with this design is that conventional active magnetic bearings are difficult ...

  3. Multijunction Ultralight Solar Cells and Arrays

    SBC: EIC LABORATORIES, INC.            Topic: T302

    There is a continuing need within NASA for solar cells and arrays with very high specific power densities (1000-5000 kW/kg) for generating power in a new generation of ultralight space payloads. An emerging technology with promise to meet these ambitious goals are solar cells based on very thin films of discrete layers or interpenetrating networks (IPNs) of organic donors and acceptors. It is also ...

  4. Solid Oxide Fuel Cell/Turbine Hybrid Power System for Advanced Aero-Propulsion and Power

    SBC: FuelCell Energy, Inc.            Topic: T301

    Solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC)/ gas turbine hybrid power systems (HPSs) have been recognized by federal agencies and other entities as having the potential to operate at unprecedented levels of performance for terrestrial applications (e.g., 70% power generation efficiencies with significantly mitigated criteria pollutant and noise emissions). An innovative approach is proposed for leveraging compet ...

  5. Si/SiC Hybrid Structures Technologies for Micropropulsion Systems

    SBC: Hyper-Therm High-Temperature Composites            Topic: T301

    Propulsion systems that provide high power to weight and minimal mass are required for the planned generation of nanospacecraft and nanosatellites. Power-MEMS can provide a low cost, highly scalable production approach to small power systems as well as distributed power systems. However, to achieve the desired efficiencies from the MEMS operating temperatures need to exceed the structural temper ...

  6. Numerical Algorithms for Steady and Unsteady Multi-Disciplinary Simulation of Flight Vehicles

    SBC: Intelligent Aerodynamics            Topic: T201

    A new multidisciplinary software environment ('MUSE') will be developed for the simulation of flight vehicles, drawing on the results of recent research on very fast algorithms, performed at Stanford University under Professor Antony Jameson's guidance. This new technology will be merged with Intelligent Aerodynamics' finite element methology implemented in the product FASTPLANE. This code, whic ...

  7. Robust Analysis and Prediction for Integrated Design of Structures (RAPIDS)

    SBC: NEXTGEN AERONAUTICS, INC.            Topic: T201

    Commercially available software suites such as the Automate Structural Optimization System (ASTROS) and MSC/NASTRAN represent the current industry standard in multidisciplinary design and optimization (MDO) tools. The primary capabilities of these products have remained largely unchanged since their initial release. In the analysis and design of modern aerospace vehicles, the deficiencies of these ...

  8. Space Qualified Non-Destructive Evaluation and Structural Health Monitoring Technology

    SBC: NEXTGEN AERONAUTICS, INC.            Topic: T702

    NextGen Aeronautics is proposing an innovative space qualified non-destructive evaluation and health monitoring technology. The technology is built on concepts developed by PIs from the University of South Carolina (USC) and NextGen. Excitation of preferential Lamb/Rayleigh wave modes, utilization of phased array concepts, and utilization of software algorithms rather than hardware for beam formin ...

  9. SPHERES Autonomy and Identification Testbed

    SBC: Payload Systems, Inc.            Topic: T101

    As space missions become increasingly complex, they demand increased reliance on spacecraft to adjust to unexpected or unfamiliar events without the assistance of real-time human-in-the-loop control. Such conditions as a thruster failure moments before an automated docking, or imprecise or unknown inertial properties due to fuel slosh, partially deployed appendages, etc., can cause controllers to ...

  10. Coordinated Control of Multi-Agent Systems in Rapidly Varying Environments

    SBC: SCIENTIFIC SYSTEMS CO INC            Topic: T101

    In this STTR project Scientific Systems Company, Inc. (SSCI) and Brigham Young University (BYU) propose to design, implement, and test an Autonomous Coordinated Control And Management System (ACCAMS) for multiple Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs) engaged in cooperative missions under rapidly changing environment. Over the past few years, BYU has developed an effective approach for complex cooperativ ...
