About this award

This federal contract award of $998,554.00 to Honeybee Robotics LLC was granted by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, for the development of "OPTIDRILL: The Next-Generation Instrumented Drill." The OPTIDRILL is an advanced drill system that enables spatially-correlated mineralogy and microtexture identification within rocks and regolith, addressing a critical technology gap for the study of undisturbed samples on other planetary surfaces. This effort builds on Honeybee Robotics' expertise in delivering specialized equipment for NASA's space exploration missions, including instrumented drills, sampling systems, and other instrumentation. The award does not have a set-aside designation, indicating Honeybee Robotics' competitive standing in the space technology sector. This grant funding supports Honeybee Robotics' ongoing research and development work to advance subsurface sampling technologies for planetary exploration.
