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. Extreme Temperature Vapor Compression Heat Pump

    SBC: MAINSTREAM ENGINEERING CORP            Topic: Z2

    Mainstream proposes to develop a vapor compression (VC) thermal management system suitable for long duration lunar equatorial missions. Because the high lunar surface temperatures during daytime operation exceed the maximum allowable temperature for most electronics, an active lifting cycle is needed rather than typical spacecraft thermal control strategies such as passive thermal links or mechani ...

  2. Deployable Solar Concentrator

    SBC: OPTERUS RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, INC            Topic: Z12

    Extraction of oxygen from lunar regolith is a critical milestone in establishing a lunar station that supports missions to Mars and beyond. Oxygen extraction systems rely on solar concentrators to heat regolith to the required reaction temperatures. Opterus proposes development of a lightweight, high power, deployable solar concentrator (DSC) to support this need. Existing traditional rigid reflec ...

  3. Non-Mechanical Dual-Mode Beam Control System for LiDARs

    SBC: BEAM ENGINEERING FOR ADVANCED MEASUREMENTS CO.            Topic: Z7

    The objective of the proposal is exploring an opportunity for developing a versatile beam control system for LiDARs with both Doppler and time-of-flight measurement capability for enhanced navigation precision and reliability. New generation optics and electro-optics capabilities will be studied, adapted and customized to prove the feasibility of new generation LIDARs that could combine Doppler pr ...

  4. Terramechanics Modeling of Soil-Wheel Interactions at the Lunar Poles

    SBC: BLUESHIFT LLC            Topic: Z5

    The proposed terramechanics modeling software presentsnbsp;novel methods to simulate irregular agglutinate shapes in lunar soil and evaluate their interaction with wheeled rovers on the lunar surface. The method combines automated agglutinate generation in a Discrete Element Method (DEM) numerical framework to produce irregular grain shapes composed of bonded particles. Additional factors are intr ...

  5. AMBEC: Advanced Micro Brayton Energy Conversion

    SBC: ExoTerra Resource, LLC            Topic: S3

    Many of NASAs high priority missions in the next decade are located in extreme environments with low, inconsistent or no sunlight.nbsp; In these cases, NASA has traditionally used RTGs.nbsp; However, RTGs are inefficient (lt;8%), with specific powers of just 2.7 W/kg.nbsp; Complicating issues is the scarcity of GPHS units due to a long drought of plutonium production.nbsp; Even with a restart in p ...

  7. Silicon Carbide-based Power Electronics for Small Fission Reactors

    SBC: CFD RESEARCH CORPORATION            Topic: Z1

    Fission power systems (FPS) are a candidate power source for long duration NASA surface missions to the Moon and Mars, and offer significant advantages over competing options, including longer life, operational robustness, and mission flexibility. Electronics associated with the power conversion and power management and distribution (PMAD) systems in FPS have to operate reliably under high tempera ...

  8. Light Weight Dewar:Low Mass High Performance IMLI/Dewar for Cryogenic Balloon Instruments

    SBC: QUEST THERMAL GROUP, LLC            Topic: S1

    High precision observations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) may enable astronomers to test new theories of dark matter amp; dark energy and currently unexplained events such as cosmic inflation amp; cosmic acceleration. Detecting CMB polarization would provide evidence for inflationary theory and open a new window on physics in the very early universe. Cost effective balloon experiments c ...

  10. Scalable Hall Thruster Power Processing Unit for Greater than 12kW using Wide Range Power Bricks

    SBC: COLORADO ELECTRONICS INC            Topic: S3

    Traditionally, PPUs for electric propulsion have been designed around a specific thruster type with little attention given to compatibility with other vendor thruster models or changing power needs.nbsp; Furthermore, many of the traditional designs based on the Weinberg converter are restricted to specialized, low voltage, bus systems.nbsp; The proposed research will test the feasibility of using ...
