- This is a Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Busek Co., Inc., a small business manufacturer of spacecraft propulsion systems based in Natick, Massachusetts. The objective of this $124,998 firm-fixed-price contract is to develop a spacecraft capable of conducting lunar or asteroid prospecting missions. Key innovations include a high-delta V solar electric propulsion system using a...
- This federal contract award to Busek Co., Inc., a small business based in Natick, Massachusetts, is for the development of the "ASTROCUBE" mission - a robotic resource prospecting mission to a near-Earth asteroid using a 6U CubeSat platform. The key elements of the mission include Busek's iodine-fueled BIT-3 RF ion propulsion system, which will provide the CubeSat with approximately 3.1 km/s of delta-V to rendezvous with the target asteroid, 2001 GP2. The mission will also leverage...
- This is a $2,480,871.31 firm fixed-price contract awarded by the NASA Shared Services Center to Busek Co., Inc., a small business manufacturer of spacecraft propulsion systems, for the BET-100UN Qualification and Flight Unit Delivery Program. The contract is part of NASA's Game Changing Technologies program and is intended to flight-qualify an electrospray propulsion system developed under a previous Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) effort. The work involves additional analysis,...
- This is a $124,927 firm-fixed-price SBIR Phase I contract awarded by the NASA Shared Services Center to Busek Co., Inc., a small business manufacturer of spacecraft propulsion systems and components based in Natick, Massachusetts. The contract requires Busek to develop an innovative hybrid direct-drive power processing unit (HDD PPU) for CubeSat electric propulsion systems. This technology will directly feed the solar array's raw high voltage into the propulsion system's PPU, minimizing...
