- This is a $859,970.00 SBIR Phase II contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Resonon, Inc., a manufacturer of hyperspectral imaging systems and cameras. The contract will advance a new, smaller ARCSTONE instrument for calibrating lunar reflectance from Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 2 to TRL 4. The goal is to reduce risk and set the stage for development of a flight system that will integrate into the NASA ARCSTONE program. This SBIR contract is a Firm...
- This is a research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Phoebus Optoelectronics LLC, a for-profit limited liability company. The primary objective is to develop a hyperspectral imaging technology called the Metamaterial Spectrometer (MS) that minimizes the trade-offs between performance and size, weight, and power (SWAP). The anticipated benefits include eliminating the need for a dispersive element, enabling selectable spectral...
This is a $314,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Nosanov Consulting LLC for research and development of the PERISCOPE mission concept. PERISCOPE is an instrument and mission to investigate and map lunar skylights from an orbiting spacecraft using photon time-of-flight imaging. The goal is to develop a 3D map of the interior void of these lunar skylights. This is a follow-on to a previous Phase I effort that demonstrated the theoretical feasibility of the concept. In this Phase II, the contractor will perform more detailed trade studies, analyses, and experiments to further advance the mission capability. The contract has an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2018 and does not have a set-aside designation.
