About this award
Flight Works, Inc., an Irvine, California-based aerospace components manufacturer specializing in advanced propulsion and fluid management systems, was awarded a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract valued at $149,618 by the federal Shared Services Center on September 29, 2025. The contract, designated as a total small business set-aside, focuses on developing a helium refueling demonstration system for on-orbit servicing applications, specifically utilizing an efficient high-pressure-ratio compressor. The effort, to be performed in Irvine, is scheduled for completion by March 27, 2026. This work represents Flight Works' continued expertise in space sustainment technologies, building on the company's established track record developing xenon and helium refueling systems for satellite servicing and on-orbit propellant transfer capabilities.
The SBIR Phase I award supports NASA's strategic objectives for in-space refueling and satellite servicing, critical capabilities for extending spacecraft operational life and enabling distributed space operations. Flight Works' demonstrated proficiency in developing high-performance fluid transfer systems, including specialized compressors and propellant management components for lunar and deep space missions, positions the company well to advance helium refueling technologies. This Phase I effort will likely generate proof-of-concept data and preliminary designs that could support transition to Phase II development and eventual technology maturation for operational space servicing missions.
