About this award

This is a firm fixed price purchase order awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Stone Aerospace, Inc., a Texas-based small disadvantaged business. The contract, valued at $149,966.00, is for the development of a vertical motion control system for cryobots as part of NASA's Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I program. Cryobots are autonomous robotic probes used to explore subsurface oceans on icy moons like Europa. This contract supports the advancement of cryobot technology to enable future missions searching for signs of life in these extraterrestrial ocean environments. The contract has a total small business set-aside, indicating it is reserved for small business concerns. Stone Aerospace has previously received multiple NASA contracts and grants to mature cryobot and communication technologies for ocean world exploration, including a $1.78 million project grant for high-bandwidth data transmission between a descending cryobot and surface lander, and a $2.7 million grant for the design, testing, and validation of cryobot subsystems.
