About this award
Space Lab Technologies, LLC, a minority-owned small disadvantaged business based in Boulder, Colorado, received a $10.1 million Cooperative Agreement from NASA's Shared Services Center for the LEAF BETA (Lunar Effects on Agricultural Flora) project. Awarded on May 22, 2024, with a completion date of May 21, 2027, this agreement represents a significant investment in developing advanced plant habitat systems, crop production technologies, and environmental control mechanisms to support sustainable agricultural operations in lunar environments. The contract is not set aside for small businesses, though Space Lab Technologies itself qualifies as a small disadvantaged business and has an established track record with NASA through multiple Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs.
The LEAF BETA project aligns with NASA's broader strategic objectives for enabling long-term human presence on the Moon by advancing life support and agricultural sustainability technologies. Space Lab Technologies brings relevant expertise from prior federal contracts focused on bioregenerative systems, lunar regolith utilization, thermal control solutions, and space habitat environmental systems. This cooperative agreement will likely yield critical innovations in plant-based life support systems, agricultural productivity in extraterrestrial environments, and integrated environmental control technologies essential for lunar exploration missions and future deep-space exploration initiatives.
