About this award

NASA's Shared Services Center awarded Care Weather Technologies Inc., a small business based in Provo, Utah, a $4.41M Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase III contract (80NSSC25C0471) on July 14, 2025, for development of a constellation of nanosatellite radars designed to provide near-hourly, global ocean surface vector wind measurements. This total small business set-aside contract carries a firm fixed price structure with a ceiling value of $4.41M and a completion date of July 13, 2028. The work will be performed in Provo, Utah, and represents the culmination of Care Weather Technologies' progression through earlier STTR phases in partnership with NASA to advance the company's innovative scatterometer systems for meteorological data collection.

The contract supports NASA's broader mission to enhance global weather forecasting capabilities through frequent, high-resolution ocean surface wind measurements. Care Weather Technologies specializes in miniaturizing radar technology for deployment on nanosatellites, an advancement that addresses critical gaps in current weather observation systems. This effort aligns with NASA's commitment to developing next-generation Earth science instruments and complements the agency's investments in improving weather prediction accuracy for maritime operations, climate monitoring, and related applications. The company's prior federal award experience with the Air Force Research Laboratory and NOAA demonstrates its technical credibility in developing advanced scatterometer systems for operational weather applications.
