Tangram Robotics, Inc. (doing business as Tangram Vision) has been awarded an $849,858 Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract by NASA's Shared Services Center to develop a low-power, high-dynamic range sensor system for long-term autonomy, navigation, and mapping on the lunar surface. This definitive contract, issued as a firm fixed-price award on August 7, 2025, is set aside for small businesses and carries an ultimate completion date of February 6, 2027. The work will be performed in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

This Phase II SBIR award represents a continuation of earlier development efforts, with the company advancing its sensor technology to support NASA's lunar exploration objectives. The sensor system is designed to enable sustained autonomous operations on the Moon by providing reliable navigation and mapping capabilities while minimizing power consumption—critical requirements for extended missions in the lunar environment. The contract reflects NASA's commitment to leveraging innovative small business solutions for advanced autonomous systems that will support future lunar surface activities and scientific investigations.
