This federal contract award was made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Metis Technology Solutions, Inc., a certified woman-owned small business. The $104,667.00 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract is for the proposed development of a small form factor Astrobee dedicated RFID label applicator. This applicator will allow current and future free-flying Astrobee vehicles to place RFID labels to assist in logistics and asset tracking. The contract requires a proof of concept prototype that demonstrates the label extraction and application process while minimizing transient inputs to the Astrobee flight controller. Metis is an experienced provider of science and engineering services to NASA and other federal agencies, including prior Phase I, II, and III SBIR awards for technology research.
