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. Small Probe Reentry System

    SBC: GLOBAL AEROSPACE CORPORATION            Topic: T101

    Global Aerospace Corporation (GAC), and its research partner, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo (CPSLO), will develop an integrated Small Probe Reentry System (SPRS) for low Earth orbit (LEO) small satellite Earth reentry missions. The SPRS delivers the small probe to a targeted reentry, protects it from the harsh atmospheric reentry environment, slows it down so that it can land without damage to its payl ...

  4. Simultaneous Localization and Mapping for Planetary Surface Mobility

    SBC: PROTOINNOVATIONS, LLC            Topic: T102

    ProtoInnovations, LLC and Carnegie Mellon University have formed a partnership to commercially develop localization and mapping technologies for planetary rovers. Our first aim is to provide a reliable means of localization that is independent of infrastructure, such as GPS, and compatible with requirements of missions to planetary surfaces. Simultaneously solving for the precise location of the r ...

  5. Agent Architecture for Continuous Systems

    SBC: KESTREL TECHNOLOGY LLC            Topic: T102

    We propose to develop an Action Languages which allows for the representation of time and time dependent processes and which allows for the valid composition of modules. Furthermore, we will develop a provably correct translation from the Action Language into Logic Programs under the Answer Set Semantics. Action Languages have already proven useful for the representation of intelligent agent tha ...

  6. A Refined Model for the Behavior of Nitrous Oxide to Assess the Limits of N2O Cooling

    SBC: ROLLING HILLS RESEARCH CORP            Topic: T201

    The proposed project is crucial to enabling safe flight research on a rocket nozzle that is based on our recent innovation, which is to use the refrigerant capabilities of nitrous oxide (N2O) to provide cooling for an aerospike nozzle on hybrid rocket motor using N2O as the oxidizer. The phase change cooling as liquid N2O is flashed from a liquid into a vapor, limits to acceptable levels the erosi ...

  8. Magnesium Hall Thruster for Solar System Exploration

    SBC: BUSEK CO., INC.            Topic: T301

    Busek proposes to prove the feasibility of a Mg Hall effect thruster system that would open the door for In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) based solar system exploration. Elemental magnesium has favorable thermophysical properties and is very easy to ionize. The estimated specific impulse for a high efficiency magnesium Hall thruster operating off of a standard 400 V power processing unit is 5 ...

  10. Superconducting Resonant Inductive Power Coupling

    SBC: ACTALITY, INC.            Topic: T301

    The proposed effort will develop a technology to wirelessly and efficiently transfer power over hundreds of meters via resonant inductive coupling. The key innovation of this approach is the use of dielectricless high-temperature superconducting (HTS) coils to overcome the limitations in efficiency and range of existing solutions. This approach is informed by existing research models that predic ...
