This is a Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Space Micro Inc., a small business, for the development of improved radio communications technologies. The contract, valued at $124,993, aims to demonstrate innovations in channelization and network protocol development that will lead to more robust and energy-efficient data links and networks. The work will leverage Space Micro's existing software-defined radio platform, the Agile Space Radio (ASR), which can dynamically adjust parameters like data rate, modulation, and frequency. The goal is to quantify the potential improvements in throughput and link robustness that can be achieved through adaptive techniques like changing the center frequency, hopping pattern, modulation, and data rate. This contract has a Total Small Business set-aside designation.
