About this award
Space Hazards Applications LLC, a woman-owned small business, was awarded an $748,039 firm fixed-price contract on August 1, 2020, under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program Phase II to develop a tool for defining solar particle access to the magnetosphere (SPAM) for satellite anomaly attribution. The work was performed in Golden, Colorado, and was set aside exclusively for small businesses. The project addresses a critical capability need for understanding how solar energetic particles penetrate Earth's magnetosphere, which directly supports the attribution of on-orbit satellite anomalies to space weather events. This Phase II award represents the continuation of Space Hazards Applications' research efforts, building on the company's demonstrated expertise in space weather modeling and satellite anomaly analysis.
The contract was funded through a civilian federal agency's shared services center and reflects ongoing investments in tools that enhance satellite operators' ability to diagnose and predict spacecraft performance issues stemming from solar particle events. Space Hazards Applications LLC has established a track record with NASA and other government agencies in developing operationally relevant space weather models and data-driven tools, leveraging machine learning and advanced analysis techniques. The SPAM tool developed under this award enables satellite mission operators and anomaly investigation teams to better understand the relationship between solar particle environments and on-orbit system failures, ultimately improving satellite mission assurance and resilience. The contract had an ultimate completion date of July 31, 2022.
