About this award
Plasma Processes, LLC, an AS9100-certified aerospace and defense contractor, was awarded a $283,291 firm fixed-price Phase III Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract by a civilian federal agency on September 29, 2023, for 110N Ascent Thruster Development. The contract, designated as a total small business set-aside, is scheduled for completion on March 29, 2025, with performance taking place in Huntsville, Alabama. This Phase III award represents the commercialization phase of the SBIR program, following successful Phase I and Phase II demonstrations, and focuses on advancing propulsion technology for space applications.
Plasma Processes brings substantial relevant experience to this thruster development effort, having previously conducted extensive research and development on spacecraft propulsion systems through prior SBIR/STTR programs funded by NASA, the Department of Defense, and the Missile Defense Agency. The company specializes in propulsion-related manufacturing and coating technologies, including green monopropellant systems, refractory metal components for thermal propulsion applications, and advanced nozzle concepts. The 110N thruster specification indicates a relatively modest thrust level suitable for small satellite applications, attitude control, or orbital maneuvering systems, aligning with the growing demand for standardized propulsion components in the commercial and government space sectors.
