This SBIR Phase II contract, awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Barrett Technology, LLC, supports the development of a networked system of miniature 70-watt brushless servo motor controllers. The controllers are designed to enable advanced rover locomotion and manipulation capabilities by integrating the entire encoder function within the motor's volume, reducing part count, size, power consumption, and cost. Phase I demonstrated successful integration with NASA motors and environmental testing, advancing the technology readiness level (TRL) from 3 to 4. Phase II efforts will focus on design modifications for space qualification, performance characterization, and further environmental testing, with the goal of reaching TRL 6. Phase III commercialization efforts are expected to result in a TRL of 7, enabling the system to support NASA rover missions as well as other space-based applications such as satellite antenna and laser pointing. The $750,000 contract is a Firm Fixed Price Definitive Contract with no set-aside designation.
