- This is a SBIR Phase I contract awarded by NASA to Tendeg LLC, a small business based in Louisville, Colorado. The contract is for the development of a deployable Ka-band mesh antenna that can fit within a 2U-3U CubeSat form factor and deploy to sizes of 0.8-1.5 meters in diameter. The goal is to enable high-bandwidth communications and high-resolution atmospheric sensing from small satellite platforms. The contract has a total ceiling value of $124,934 and was awarded on a Firm Fixed Price...
Tethers Unlimited, Inc., a small business, was awarded a $124,846 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to develop a "Makersat Demonstration Mission." The effort aims to enable small satellite platforms, such as CubeSats and NanoSats, to perform "long baseline" and "spatially diverse" observation, measurement, and collection missions through the use of in-space manufacturing technologies that allow the satellites to "grow" larger structures once on orbit. This represents a transformative approach compared to traditional formation flying or deployable satellite technologies. The Makersat demonstration is intended to validate the constructable smallsat platform and enable nanosat-class systems to perform missions like single-pass interferometric synthetic aperture radar, long-baseline radio astronomy, and infrared astronomy.
