This contract was set aside for small businesses. Frontier Aerospace has previously received prime contracts...
- This federal contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Frontier Astronautics LLC, a small business, under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program Phase I. The contract, valued at $124,944.00, is for the development of a novel booster design for a launch vehicle. The booster uses a unique propellant combination of hydrogen peroxide and kerosene, along with a combination gas generator and electric pump-fed rocket...
- This is a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arctic Slope Technical Services, Inc., an Alaskan Native Corporation-owned small disadvantaged business. The $125,000 firm-fixed-price contract aims to develop a low-cost, high-efficiency catalyst technology to address navigation and maneuver difficulties in NASA's return missions. The proposed solution involves designing and fabricating a monolithic...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $579,855 grant for research to Purdue University to conduct a comprehensive propellant characterization campaign for mixed oxides of nitrogen (MON) with high concentrations of nitric oxide (NO). NASA has historically used low concentrations of NO added to nitrogen tetroxide, but higher concentrations can provide system-level benefits in lower temperature environments. This study will provide fundamental data needed to support the...
- This is a $1,125,000.00 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Plasma Processes, LLC, a limited liability company that specializes in materials solutions for industrial applications. The contract is for the research, development, testing, and delivery of a miniaturized propulsion system compatible with non-toxic "green" monopropellants for small spacecraft, including CubeSats. This addresses a...
- This is a $124,974 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract awarded by NASA to Flight Works, Inc., a small business manufacturer of aerospace components and systems. Under this contract, Flight Works will develop and characterize a micro-gear-pump suitable for both Mono-Methyl Hydrazine (MMH) and Mixed Oxides of Nitrogen (MON-25) bipropellants, initially sized for 22-30 Newton (5-7 lbf) class thrusters. The goal is to demonstrate this technology through pump-fed MMH/MON-25...
- This Federal Contract Award (NNX15CJ34P) was issued by the NASA Shared Services Center to Parabilis Space Technologies, Inc., a small business, in the amount of $124,807.00.

The proposed innovation aims to reduce cost, increase reliability, and decrease...
- This is a $125,000 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program Phase I contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Ultramet, a for-profit manufacturer specializing in advanced materials for extreme environments. The contract is focused on the design and development of a lightweight, low-cost transpiration-cooled liquid oxygen (LOX)/liquid methane (LCH4) rocket engine in the 10,000 to 25,000 lbf thrust range. Ultramet will leverage its expertise in...
- This is a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract awarded by NASA to Ultramet, a small business manufacturer of advanced materials and aerospace technologies. The contract, valued at $125,000, is for the design, fabrication, and hot-fire testing of a 5-newton green monopropellant thruster and igniter system. This work builds on previous Air Force research demonstrating the capability of Ultramet's technology for high-performance, long-life propulsion systems using the green...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $124,953.00 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract to Physical Sciences Inc., a for-profit R&D company, to develop a regenerative cooling architecture and manufacturing method for a combined ceramic matrix composite (CMC)/metal structure for rocket nozzles. The objective is to reduce structural mass and improve specific impulse to enable larger payload fractions and lower mission costs. The proposed...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $120,483.00 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program Phase I contract to Frontier Aerospace Corporation, a for-profit manufacturer, to further characterize the properties of MON-25 and MON-30 oxidizers for use in cold temperature space flight systems. The contract aims to enable the use of these low-temperature oxidizers in rocket propulsion systems for deep space applications, which can save significant power required for propellant heaters compared to traditional hydrazine and nitrogen tetroxide propellants. This could allow for larger science payloads and enhanced mission capabilities for deep space probes. The low-temperature oxidizers may also find use in lunar landing and ascent systems.
