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. Hybrid organic electro-optic modulators for silicon photonic integrated circuits

    SBC: NONLINEAR MATERIALS CORP            Topic: T8

    Silicon organic hybrid (SOH) EO modulators are a leading potential solution to the limitations of silicon pn junction EO modulators, including poor modulation efficiency, high optical loss, and limited EO bandwidth, which constrain the performance of silicon photonics (SiPh) PICs. In SOH modulators, the tight confinement of optical and RF fields inside the organic EO (OEO) material, combined with ...

  3. Affordable In-Space Demonstration of Dynamic Radioisotope Power Conversion

    SBC: ULTRA SAFE NUCLEAR CORPORATION - TECHNOLOGIES            Topic: S16

    USNC-Tech is proposing a modular radioisotope power system. This system would enable a low-cost flight demonstration of a high efficiency dynamic power system using a low-cost radioisotope and maintaining compatibility with thenbsp;GPHS Pu-238 power source due to its modular design. Co-60nbsp;is routinely produced in 500 W scale quantities needed for a dynamic power system demonstration. While int ...

  4. Additively Manufactured Hybrid Propulsion System for Smallsat Deorbit

    SBC: HYBIRD SPACE SYSTEMS LLC            Topic: Z8

    Hybird Space Systems (Hybird) is developing a retrobraking propulsion system, named RT-5X, whose initial application is focused on deorbit of spacecraft in LEO. RT-5X combines the ldquo;smartrdquo; advantages of liquid propulsion (throttleability, restartablility, low impulse bit) with the operational simplicity of solid propulsion (high reliability, low-cost design, storability) in an entirely ld ...

  5. Eye Safe IR Power Beaming to GaSb PV Modules at Remote EV Charging Station

    SBC: Jx Crystals Inc.            Topic: S16

    We propose to develop and demonstrate a compact high efficiency power beaming system that couples a 1.5-micron laser source to a high quantum efficiency, low cost, GaSb-based infrared photovoltaics receiver for agile power distribution from the edge of a moon crater to a charging station.nbsp;This could serve as a first step toward eye safe power dense wireless energy transfer. With the use of con ...

  6. Phased Array Processing for AAM Noise Flight Tests

    SBC: OPTINAV INC            Topic: A1

    In noise testing Advanced Aircraft Mobility vehicles, sound spheres represent directivity patterns. The current standard measurement approach is to fly or hover the vehicle over an array of microphones and project the microphone spectra onto the sphere. The quality of the results is limited by the finite number of microphones, uncontrolled acoustic propagation effects related to weather, and backg ...

  7. Deep Space Navigation of Distributed Small Spacecraft Using Occultations of Celestial X-ray Sources

    SBC: ASTER LABS, INC.            Topic: Z8

    This program will develop an innovative small spacecraft navigation system using X-ray energy band observations of celestial sources by measuring the photon flux change during the time of the horizon crossing due to occultation by a planetary body, referred to as Occultation X-ray Navigation (OXNAV). Previous work by ASTER Labs has demonstrated concept feasibility of X-ray navigation (XNAV) using ...

  9. CETACEAN: Autonomous and Modular Onboard Relative Navigation Software for On-Orbit Proximity Operations & Docking

    SBC: STARFISH SPACE, INC.            Topic: H9

    A robust relative navigation software capability is a key enabler of all RPOD missions, and therefore an essential technology to unlock ISAM capabilities. There are two areas of development that are needed to advance relative navigation towards onboard autonomous viability: 1) Improvement of machine vision and image processing performance in spaceflight applications and 2) Development of a navigat ...

  10. High Power Density Pressurized Monolithic Zirconia Electrolyzers

    SBC: ALTERNATIVE ENERGY MATERIALS, LLC            Topic: T7

    Spaceflight originally harnessed the high specific impulse of hydrogen produced from methane containing natural. The reverse challenge now aims to produce hydrogen through electrolysis then synthesize methane using in-situ Martian resources. Technology advancements and climate priorities have now positioned hydrogen fuel and its derivatives to revolutionize terrestrial transport on the roads, high ...
