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. Extremely Lightweight Fuel Cell Based Power Supply System for Commercial Aircrafts

    SBC: Fuceltech Inc            Topic: 1

    Fuceltech proposes to develop a low cost lightweight Energy Storage and Power Generation (ESPG) system for commercial aircrafts in the ARPA-E REEACH program. Fuceltech will develop a single fuel cell (5kW to be developed in the program and potentially as high as 10kW from a single cell) and a novel stacking approach which can be used to deliver hundreds of kW or MWs of power from a single small an ...

  2. Kilowatt Class Fission Energy Conversion

    SBC: QORTEK INC            Topic: Z1

    NASArsquo;s Kilopower program aims to jumpstart a new approach to powering exploration in the future by utilization of fission reactors.nbsp; The heat from these reactors then drives Stirling engines that when coupled with generators, can produce the power required for future missions.nbsp; The proposed program aims to have QorTek work with Sunpower to further enhance the capability of their Stirl ...

  3. Scalar Atomic Magnetometer for CubeSats

    SBC: Twinleaf LLC            Topic: S1

    We propose to develop a compact, rugged, and accurate scalar atomic magnetometer suitable for CubeSat missions. The sensor will provide temperature-insensitive measurements of magnetic field magnitude which can be used in conjunction with established fluxgate technology to provide richer information about magnetic fields to further solar and space physics science goals.

  4. An Innovative sub-mmWAVE/THz Noise Chip Using PIC Technology

    SBC: SPECTRUM MAGNETICS LLC            Topic: S1

    Leveraging the recent breakthroughs in manufacturing of ultrafast photonics devices such as PIN-PD or UTC-PD, and in the drastic improvement in cost and performance of ASE, we propose to transform our commercial high ENR noise sources, currently operated under 110 GHz, into an integrated noise diode chip operating in sub-mmWave/THz.nbsp; The proposed noise diode chip is an ideal source to calibrat ...

  5. Multi-Megawatt Superconducting Motor for Electric Aircraft

    SBC: PRINCETON SATELLITE SYSTEMS INC            Topic: A1

    In this proposal we propose to evaluate the performance of a novel configuration of superconducting electric motor. The application of this motor is propelling partially- or fully-electric aircraft. The technology has the potential to quadruple the existing state of the art in aircraft motor specific power. Gains in specific power come from several aspects of the design:The axial flux configuratio ...

  6. Integrated Approach for Space Active and Passive Dust Mitigation Enabled by Electroactive Polymer Technology

    SBC: POLYK TECHNOLOGIES LLC            Topic: Z13

    The SBIR Phase I project will develop a dust mitigation technology for NASArsquo;s planetary exploration missions. Specifically, this technology combines three dust removal mechanisms, including vibration, electrodynamic force, and superhydrophobic surface, and integrates them into a single laminate (PolyK Dust Mitigation Laminate, or PKDML). Once the PKDML is activated, dust particles will be bum ...

  7. High Power Near-Field Wireless Transfer for Dust Intensive Applications

    SBC: ASTROBOTIC TECHNOLOGY INC            Topic: Z13

    A great challenge with power management is the way power is transmitted to other devices. Traditional space systems operate through nuclear, solar, or tethered power mechanisms that require great complexity and process to qualify and operate.nbsp;Tethered systems are hindered tremendously by mechanically mated components that are prone to regolith incursion and that require large robotically gener ...

  8. Neural Space Navigator

    SBC: PRINCETON SATELLITE SYSTEMS INC            Topic: H9

    The Neural Space Navigator (NSN) is an innovative fully autonomous navigation system for deep space or near the surface of moons, asteroids or planets, It employs dual cameras. One is on a pan and tilt platform for tracking celestial objects and for terrain tracking. The other is a star camera that provides a star reference. An optional sun distance sensor provides a sun range nbsp;reference in in ...

  9. Thermal Management System for Lunar Ice Miners

    SBC: ADVANCED COOLING TECHNOLOGIES INC            Topic: Z12

    The millions of tons of ice water discovered by the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) mission is considered to be the most valuable resource on the moon. Extracting this water ice from Lunar regolith would require a very high thermal energy input and inversely, capturing this water vapor in the near-vacuum environment also requires significant cooling capacity. Therefore, it ...

  10. 3D Printed Loop Heat Pipe

    SBC: ADVANCED COOLING TECHNOLOGIES INC            Topic: S3

    The fast-growing space industry results in increasing demand for thermal control systems.nbsp; Loop heat pipes (LHPs) are a commonly utilized device for spacecraft due to high efficiency and flexibility (ability to integrate with deployable radiator, thermal control valve, etc.).nbsp; However, they are currently too costly to manufacture to make them viable for most cost-sensitive applications suc ...
