About this award
Whisper Aero Inc., a small business specializing in advanced electric propulsion systems, has been awarded an $850K Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract by NASA to design an ultra-low noise ventilation fan for space applications. The contract, designated as a total small business set-aside, is firm fixed price with an ultimate completion date of July 16, 2027. The work will be performed at the company's facility in Fairfield Glide, Tennessee. This Phase II effort represents a continuation and expansion of earlier exploratory research, with the objective of developing innovative environmental control systems that minimize acoustic disturbance in spacecraft operations—a critical requirement for crew comfort and mission success in long-duration space missions.
This award reflects NASA's commitment to leveraging small business innovation within the aerospace sector and builds on Whisper Aero's established track record of developing low-noise propulsion technologies through previous SBIR and Small Business Technology Transfer program awards. The company's expertise in quiet electric propulsion systems for aerospace applications, combined with its active participation in collaborative research with academic institutions, positions it well to advance the state of ultra-low noise ventilation technology for the agency's space exploration initiatives.
