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. Ultrasonic Tape Laminated Cryogenic Tank Structures Processed Outside Autoclave

    SBC: FOSTER-MILLER, INC.            Topic: N/A

    Recent designs for large aerospace structures especially cryotank structures for the second and third Generation Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV) are driving the aerospace community to develop out-of-autoclave composite manufacturing processes to save enormous autoclave capital equipment costs. In this proposed Phase I effort, Foster-Miller will demonstrate that autoclave equivalent mechanical proper ...

  2. Crew Activity Analyzer

    SBC: FOSTER-MILLER, INC.            Topic: N/A

    Future space missions will require planning for human interactions in a confined and potentially harsh environment over extended periods of time. The study of human behavior in simulated environments is one means of planning for these missions. The proposed innovative Crew Activity Analyzer (CAA) will provide NASA with an efficient and cost-effective tool for automatically identifying patterns of ...

  3. Flexible, Low CTE Composites for Precision Deployable Structures

    SBC: FOSTER-MILLER, INC.            Topic: N/A

    Future spacecraft will deploy optical apertures large enough to detect life on planets around distant stars. These apertures must maintain their shape to within small percentages of a wavelength over long observations. Current deployment technologies require hinges, latches and actuators, experimentally shown to make structures unstable and unpredictable at the micron level. Compensating for therm ...

  4. Radiation Resistant, Improved Emissivity Solar Cell System using PBO Film

    SBC: FOSTER-MILLER, INC.            Topic: N/A

    To make deep travel possible new high-density power sources will need to be developed. Of the hypothesized solutions for these missions, thin-film solar cells are among those showing the most promise for attaining the required specific power rating (> 1000 W/kg) and efficiency (> 20 percent). Recent research has focused on the use of polymeric substrates such as polyimides due to their low density ...

  5. SPHERES-derived Mars Orbiting Sample Retrieval Testbed (SPHERES MOSR)

    SBC: Payload Systems, Inc.            Topic: N/A

    We propose to modify the Synchronized Position Hold Engage Re-orient Experimental Satellites (SPHERES) system to support the development of Mars orbiting sample retrieval (MOSR) techniques for a Mars Sample Return (MSR) mission. The SPHERES system, an innovative spacecraft flight testbed developed by Payload Systems Inc. and the MIT Space Systems Laboratory, is currently scheduled for its first mi ...

  6. Improved Efficiency and Stability in Lightweight Polymeric Photovoltaic Devices

    SBC: PHYSICAL SCIENCES INC.            Topic: N/A

    Polymeric photovoltaic devices are attractive for NASA?s space and terrestrial applications because of their light weight and low production cost. However, current devices suffer from instability and short lifetimes. The stability and lifetime of polymeric photovoltaic devices can be extended by increasing the charge mobility through the conjugated polymer. This increase in mobility reduces the op ...

  7. Nitrous Oxide Propulsion System

    SBC: PIONEER ASTRONAUTICS            Topic: N/A

    The Nitrous Oxide Propulsion System (NOPS) is a new Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU) thruster concept using nitrous oxide as a monopropellant. Liquid monopropellants are often used in propulsion systems where simplicity of design, restartable/control on demand, and repeatability is desired. Unfortunately, many monopropellants are toxic and dangerous, ruling them out for EMU thruster application. ...

  8. LOX Olefin Rocket Propulsion for Deep Space

    SBC: PIONEER ASTRONAUTICS            Topic: N/A

    The LOX Olefin engine (LOXO or LOX/LC2H4 or LOX/LC3H6) is a proposed technology designed to provide interplanetary spacecraft with high specific impulse, space storable propulsion. With the LOXO engine, the combination of liquid oxygen with sub-cooled liquid ethylene or liquid propylene as a rocket propellant enables development of compact lightweight high performance stages with isothermal common ...

  9. Lift Gas Cracker

    SBC: PIONEER ASTRONAUTICS            Topic: N/A

    The Lift Gas Cracker (LGC) is new method for producing lift gas for balloons for both terrestrial and extra-terrestrial applications, eliminating the need for heavy, bulky gas bottles. The LGC produces a lift gas from the cracking of methanol, an easily obtained, easily stored liquid, to make either the hydrogen/carbon monoxide cracking product or a hydrogen-enriched product by using membrane sepa ...

  10. High-Power Pump Laser for Ozone Lidar

    SBC: Q-PEAK INCORPORATED            Topic: N/A

    A high-priority goal in the NASA ESE Science Plan is to understand and predict the tropospheric distribution, chemistry and transport of ozone. Lidar measurements from low earth orbit can provide a global survey of tropospheric ozone and aerosol layers with high vertical resolution. These observations can be complemented by regional measurements with lidars on small aircraft at higher spatial and ...
