About this award

The U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory awarded a $109,447 firm-fixed-price STTR Phase I contract to Neuron Space Corporation, a self-certified small disadvantaged business, for the development of high-speed, mini laser terminals to support the United States Space Force's real-time exploitation of commercial earth observation data. The contract has a completion date of March 14, 2024 and is set aside for small businesses.

Neuron Space Corporation is a California-based company specializing in advanced space communication technologies, particularly miniature optical communication systems and laser terminals for low Earth orbit satellite constellations. This award builds on the company's prior contract work with the Air Force Research Laboratory, including a $1.2 million SBIR Phase II contract for a "Neuron Node for Real Time Space Situational Awareness" and a $1.2 million contract for "Miniature Optical Communication for Heterogeneous Low Earth Orbit Constellation Communication." The work under this contract is expected to contribute to the Space Force's efforts to leverage commercial earth observation data in real-time.
