About this award

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a Firm Fixed Price Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract to Certaintech, Inc., a minority-owned small disadvantaged business, to develop water recovery technologies from wastewater sources for long-duration human exploration missions. The $124,990 contract aims to address the critical need for substantial water recovery capabilities to support the life support system requirements of future space missions, as launch weights make transporting large quantities of water practically impossible. This SBIR contract is part of NASA's broader efforts to advance key technologies for human space exploration.
