About this award
NASA awarded a $25K Phase III Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract to Juno Propulsion Inc., a small disadvantaged, woman-owned business based in Federal Way, Washington, under contract number 80NSSC25C0412. The award, set aside exclusively for small businesses, funds development of a rotating detonation combustion (RDC) satellite thruster utilizing novel, non-toxic propellants. Work will be performed in Auburn, Washington, with completion targeted for October 7, 2026. This Phase III effort represents the commercialization stage of the SBIR program, building upon earlier research phases to advance Juno Propulsion's innovative propulsion technology toward market application.
Juno Propulsion has demonstrated significant progress in this technology area through concurrent NSF funding and prior SBIR phases, with projections indicating potential to double satellite lifespan in low Earth orbit and enable substantial improvements in satellite capabilities. The RDC satellite thruster addresses critical needs in space propulsion by employing environmentally friendly propellant formulations while improving performance metrics. As a firm fixed-price contract, the award establishes clear cost and schedule parameters for delivering this advanced propulsion system technology to NASA.
