About this award

This is a $149,987 firm-fixed-price contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Solestial, Inc., a solar energy company, under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program. The contract is for research and development of next-generation silicon-based solar arrays for use on space stations and other permanent space infrastructure. The work is part of the EO14042 SBIR PHASE I IGNITE program, which is focused on developing advanced solar technologies for the harsh space environment. As a small business, Solestial was awarded this contract on a total small business set-aside. The company specializes in producing ultra-thin silicon solar cells that can self-repair radiation damage, making them well-suited for power generation in space. This contract builds on Solestial's previous SBIR awards and other federal funding it has received to advance its space-based solar technologies.
