This federal contract award, valued at $124,980.00, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to CU Aerospace L.L.C., a for-profit limited liability company. The award is for the development of a Strain Actuated Solar Array (SASA) system, which is intended to provide sub-milli-arcsecond pointing and active jitter dampening capabilities for spacecraft. The SASA system utilizes piezoelectric actuators to enable attitude control and stabilization. This Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) project aims to develop control algorithms and a hardware-in-the-loop platform to test the SASA prototype, with the goal of advancing the technology readiness level to TRL 4. Subsequent phases would involve testing the SASA system on parabolic flights and a CubeSat platform to demonstrate flight worthiness. The award is designated as a total small business set-aside, supporting the growth of entrepreneurial space companies and the commercial space industry.
