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. Additive-Manufactured Ablative Thermal Protection Systems

    SBC: Nanovox, LLC            Topic: T12

    To address the need for thermal protection systems with reduced cost and reduced complexity, with continuity over large areas, thermoset resin nanocomposite materials that are compatible with additive-manufacturing process will be optimized for thermal shielding applications. Additive manufacturing offers significant possibilities for developing and fabricating a thermal protection system (TPS); a ...

  2. Testing of COTS Systems in Space Radiation Environments

    SBC: STREAMLINE AUTOMATION LLC            Topic: T6

    For long duration space missions beyond LEO there is a wealth of COTS hardware that could potentially be implemented for non-critical tasks within heavily shielded spacecraft cabins. To employ COTS systems for such missions, we propose to use a simulation/experimental/statistical approach for risk acceptance Radiation Hardness Assurance (RHA) suitable for Cis-Lunar and Cis-Mars missions. The simul ...

  3. Tunable, Reconfigurable Metamaterials Using Liquid Crystal Medium

    SBC: APPLIED OPTIMIZATION, INC.            Topic: T8

    We propose to take advantage of the tunable, isotropic properties of Liquid Crystals (LCs) to design two different models for a tunable, LC-based metamaterial (LCM) device. This device will be designed with optimal materials and structures to operate within the visible-to-near-IR spectrum with (a) the capability to tune to multiple wavelengths, (b) the ability to respond to and function with diffe ...

  4. OOA Process for Manufacture of Large Thin Gauge Composites

    SBC: Vistex Composites, LLC            Topic: T12

    Vistexrsquo;s patented Pressure Focusing Layer (PFLtrade;) technology utilizes a computationally optimized mold set that provides the same uniform pressure and temperature as an autoclave. NASA calls for an innovative out-of-autoclave processing method for thin-gauge structures. Vistexrsquo;s PFL process directly addresses this need. Specifically, the PFL processrsquo; core strength is its ability ...

  5. Numerical Simulation of Fields in Cavities with Detailed Antenna Modeling

    SBC: Electro Magnetic Applications, Inc.            Topic: T5

    Engineers at NASA are faced with the challenge of understanding complex electromagnetic effects that can impact payloads and launch vehicle hardware located under rocket fairings. Approximate approaches for modelingnbsp;antennas that interact with rocket fairingsnbsp;assume a plane wave incident upon the fairing for external antennas or a simple representation of the antenna (e.g., Hertzian dipole ...

  6. Early-Design Aeroacoustics Prediction for Distributed Electric Propulsion Vehicles using FlightStream

    SBC: RESEARCH IN FLIGHT LLC            Topic: T15

    Research in Flight and Auburn University are proposing to develop a robust tool and methodology to allow the simulation and modeling of acoustic signatures for Distributed Electric Propulsion (DEP) air vehicle concepts in the conceptual design phase. These new tools will enable the study of aeroacoustics in much greater detail and with greater fidelity than heretofore deemed practical in the early ...

  7. A New Oxygen Recovery Process to Reduce Waste from Propellant Tanks

    SBC: TDA RESEARCH, INC.            Topic: T2

    After landing, the lunar lander liquid oxygen tank may contain as much as 5% residual oxygen that is pressurized with helium. TDA Research proposes to develop an oxygen recovery module which separates the helium from the oxygen so that the remaining high purity oxygen can be readily supplied to life-support equipment and fuel cells. The oxygen recovery module uses an advanced sorbent that has a hi ...

  8. High Capacity Sorbents for Removal of Problematic Contaminants from Processed Wastewater

    SBC: TDA RESEARCH, INC.            Topic: T6

    Water recovery from wastewater sources is a key to long duration human exploration missions.nbsp; Regenerative systems are utilized on the International Space Station (ISS) to recycle water from humidity condensate and urine. However, two organic compounds, dimethylsilanediol (DMSD) and dimethyl sulfone (DMSO2), are problematic to water processor assembly (WPA) in the ISS. DMSD is a silicon-contai ...

  9. Autonomous In-space Assembly of Modular Structures

    SBC: ALTIUS SPACE MACHINES, INC.            Topic: T4

    The ESCHER interface is part of a larger concept working to enable swarms of robots to autonomously perform difficult construction tasks while minimizing the cost and complexity of doing so. The interface, designed by Altius for use on Virginia Tech#39;s FASER Lab robots, will leverage existing switchable electropermanent magnetnbsp;(EPM) technology and Altius custom geometries to provide a high h ...
