The Award database is continually updated throughout the year. As a result, data for FY23 is not expected to be complete until September, 2024.

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. Safe Autonomy for Multi-Vehicle Rendezvous Proximity Operations of Under-Actuated Satellites

    SBC: TOYON RESEARCH CORPORATION            Topic: AF21STCSO1

    This rise of low-cost, private spaceflight has increased accessibility and potential of earth orbit missions and beyond. In tandem low cost space vehicles, such as micro or nanosatellites, have emerged as a flexible platform for testing or deploying exper

  2. On-Orbit Operations and Mission Planning in Minutes, not Hours

    SBC: MICROSURGEONBOT INC            Topic: AF21STCSO1

    MSBAI proposes to adapt our ‘Universal Interface for Simulation’ called GURU to provide a comprehensive intelligent environment to run trajectory design and mission planning, and orbital dynamics analysis specific to on-orbit operations. Simulation support of these operations will be significantly scaled by reducing the time, labor, and expertise required to leverage space mission design, opti ...

  3. An In-situ On-orbit impact damage monitoring system for Space Structures

    SBC: ACELLENT TECHNOLOGIES INC            Topic: AF21STCSO1

    Space-based assets form the backbone of today’s communication, navigation, and defense industries. Satellites can suffer unexpected damage during their lifetimes from impacts with other vehicles, micrometeoroids, and other space debris. On-orbit Servicing, Assembly, and Manufacturing (OSAM) can vastly expand the performance, availability, resilience, and lifetime of satellite systems compared to ...

  4. Deployable Capture Device for Orbit Debris

    SBC: L'GARDE, INC.            Topic: AF21STCSO1

    L.Garde, Inc. is proposing to develop DeCaDe (Deployable Capture Device) in response the Air Force solicitation for active debris removal. DeCaDe is designed to be a compact sub-assembly which can be attached to a spacecraft, and when in close proximity deploy a net to capture the targeted orbiting debris. DeCaDe can provide permanent engagements for de-orbiting missions or reversible engagements ...

  5. Orbital Debris Removal System (ODRS)

    SBC: ORBITAL COMPOSITES, INC.            Topic: AF21STCSO1

    Orbital Composites’ Orbital Debris Removal System (ODRS) is a novel concept that can remove millions of pieces of debris ranging in size from miniscule to very large at 50-100X lower cost than currently proposed solutions. Thousands of very long carbon fibers may be attached to a 6-12U CubeSat. A large ORB of de-orbiting tethers suspended in zero-G would automatically static charge-weld themselv ...

  6. Fixit Finder- A Debris Cleanup and On-Orbit Servicing Screening Tool

    SBC: NOU SYSTEMS INC            Topic: AF21STCSO1

    With the growing number of active spacecraft and debris on-orbit, the need to perform spacecraft servicing and debris cleanup in space has never been greater.  A multitude of commercial companies have begun to design, build, test and operate systems to pr

  7. CMG-Barnacle: Robotic Spacecraft that Attaches to Satellites Providing ADCS

    SBC: Space Micro Inc.            Topic: AF21STCSO1

    The US Space Force has identified the need to maintain and update high-value bespoke space systems and harvest the maximum lifetime from these assets. One key point of failure that has doomed a variety of satellites is reaction control wheel, or control m

  8. Intelligent Swarm-Robotic Debris Remediation

    SBC: OFF-WORLD, INC.            Topic: AF21STCSO1

    OffWorld and New Space New Mexico together propose the development of a semi-autonomous robotic capability to perform repositioning of Resident Space Objects (RSOs) to support Active Debris Remediation (ADR) efforts and emerging commercial On-orbit Servicing, Assembly, and Manufacturing (OSAM) applications. During the STTR Phase 1 we will refine and validate our CONOPS in preparation for subsequen ...

  9. Investigation of Reusable Refueling Shuttles for OSAM Operations

    SBC: INVERSION SPACE CO            Topic: AF21STCSO1

    One of the key factors for orbital servicing and assembly and manufacturing market is the ability to refuel spacecraft to extend their life in orbit. While this model saves money for programs by extending the life of the asset, how the refueling happens h

  10. Investigation into the Reduction of Visibility of the Return of Orbital Assets

    SBC: INVERSION SPACE CO            Topic: AF21STCSO1

    The disposal of satellites via deorbiting is a standard process of removing space debris. This is highly effective but also a highly visible way of removing old satellites and space debris. In doing this there's also the risk of the asset not fully burnin
