NASA has awarded a USD 125,000 firm fixed-price Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract to Southwest Sciences Inc., a small business, to develop a compact carbon dioxide (CO2) instrumentation system for small aerial platforms. This instrumentation will support NASA's efforts to measure and understand CO2 fluxes and the carbon budget, which is critical for validating satellite data and obtaining high-resolution, non-integrated CO2 profiles. The proposed instrument aims to...
This is a Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Nanohmics Inc., a small for-profit technology company based in Austin, Texas. The contract, valued at $124,984, is for the development of a real-time spectrometer using photonic integrated circuit (IC) interferometric capabilities in the mid-wave infrared (MWIR) spectral band. This compact, low size, weight, and power (SWAP) spectrometer is intended to...
This SBIR Phase I contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Phase Sensitive Innovations Inc. (PSI), a veteran-owned small business, to develop a microwave photonic imaging radiometer technology for spaceborne remote sensing applications. The $124,723 effort aims to dramatically reduce the size, weight, and power requirements of the sensor through the use of distributed aperture imaging and optical upconversion techniques. This will enable the...
This federal contract award to Qmagiq LLC, a small business, is for the development of megapixel long-wave infrared strained-layer superlattice focal plane arrays (SLS FPAs) to support NASA's Earth observation missions. The $124,996 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract aims to increase the spatial resolution of instruments like the Landsat Thermal Infrared Sensor (LDCM-TIRS) from 100 meters to the desired 30 meters by expanding the number of detector pixels. In Phase I,...
