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. Autonomous Plant Watering System for Spacecraft

    SBC: IRPI LLC            Topic: H8

    Autonomous plant watering aboard spacecraft poses persistent challenges for fluid systems designers. However, recent advances in low-g capillary fluidics research are re-invigorating the path forward, making possible the practicable design, fabrication, testing, and demonstration of advanced watering systems for spacecraft plant growth facilities, research platforms, and habitats.nbsp;Such solutio ...

  2. Compact High-Degrees-of-Freedom Freeform Beam-Expander Optics

    SBC: VOXTEL, INC.            Topic: S2

    To demonstrate the ability of freeform gradient optics to achieve compact lightweight high-performance beam-expanding optics, working with NASA subject matter experts and other stakeholders, the requirements for the lidar beam-expanding optical system will be refined. Design trade studies will be performed before various lidar beam-expander optics are designed and modeled. On-axis and off-axis afo ...

  3. Damage Detection Using Two-Stage Compressive Sensing

    SBC: ADVENT INNOVATIONS LTD CO            Topic: Z11

    NASA is developing new vehicles for human space flight. The Orion crew module is a reusable capsule that provides a habitat for the crew and facilitates exploration of the Moon, asteroids, and Mars. The Space Launch System (SLS) is a heavy lift system and is part of NASArsquo;s deep space exploration plans. The SLS will carry humans beyond low Earth orbit and will deliver elements of the Lunar Orb ...

  4. Halogen Binding Resins for Potable Water Disinfection

    SBC: UMPQUA RESEARCH COMPANY            Topic: H3

    NASA is interested in alternative biocides for disinfecting process water.nbsp; During the proposed project, a resin will be developed for the slow-release of chlorine or bromine.nbsp; This resin will be used in a simple flow-through cartridge that will act as both a contact kill biocide device and as a source of free chlorine or bromine.nbsp; A halogen residual of 0.5 to 1.0 mg/L will be delivere ...

  5. Geiger-Mode Avalanche Detector Array for Optical Communications

    SBC: VOXTEL, INC.            Topic: H9

    Single-photon-counting detectors optimal for NASA long-range freespace optical telecommunications will be developed. The proposed effort addresses NASArsquo;s need for reliable sources of radiation-hardened 1064-nm- and 1550-nm-sensitive single-photon photoreceivers for deep-space communications. There has been previous investment in single-photon-sensitive detector arrays; InGaAs APD pixels opera ...

  6. Technologies Enabling Urban Air Mobility All-Weather Vertiport Operations

    SBC: THE INNOVATION LABORATORY, INC.            Topic: A3

    The Innovation Laboratory, Inc., propose to develop a suite of technologies that can be used to expand the availability of the Urban Air Mobility (UAM) vertiport. Our innovation, VertiSafe, is a collection of technologies, some traditional, and some unconventional, that when used in conjunction provides a clear view of the weather constraints and provides effective weather mitigation strategies to ...

  7. Graded Temperature Fecal Dryer-Densifier

    SBC: UMPQUA RESEARCH COMPANY            Topic: H3

    Solid wastes generated during long-duration manned missions beyond Low Earth Orbit (LEO) contain valuable resources that must be recovered and reused to reduce the resupply burden or be jettisoned to reduce fuel requirements.nbsp; It is vital that water be reclaimed from metabolic wastes since the cost of resupply becomes prohibitively expensive for long duration missions.nbsp; Therefore, practica ...

  8. Advanced Superhydrophobic Fluids Processing for Life Support

    SBC: IRPI LLC            Topic: H8

    Capillary fluidic solutions to the challenges of water recycling aboard spacecraft are gaining ground. Such solutions exploit surface tension, wetting, and system geometry to passively position fluids in desired locations for reliable collection, separation, and transport. Because such aqueous streams can be highly contaminated with particulates and gases, passive no-moving-parts solutions are att ...

  9. Magnetically Geared Aircraft Drivetrain

    SBC: FLUXMAGIC, INC.            Topic: A1

    This proposed project will demonstrate the potential for a 15kW magnetically geared drivetrain (MGD) to radically improve the cost, reliability and efficiency of an electric aircraft. The MGD is made up of a series connected magnetic gear (MG) connected to a high-speed motor. The Phase 1 portion of this SBIR proposed project aims to design, fabricate and conduct preliminary testing of a 12.1:1 rat ...

  10. Single Photon Counting LIDAR Sensor

    SBC: VOXTEL, INC.            Topic: S1

    Sensors for spaceborne aerosol, cloud, and ocean (ACO) lidar must possess very wide dynamic range to cover the weakest stratospheric returns from the Rayleigh region and the strongest atmospheric targets, such as bright water clouds and strong reflections from the ocean surface. Currently this is not possible using a single sensor. To address NASArsquo;s need for next-generation spaceborne lidar s ...
