About Aster Labs, Inc.
Aster Labs, Inc. Shoreview Division, doing business as Aster Labs Inc., is a minority-owned small disadvantaged business based in St. Paul, Minnesota that develops aerospace research, autonomous systems, and biomedical wearable devices for federal research agencies as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The company is a Subcontinent Asian American-owned Subchapter S corporation competing exclusively as a prime on SBIR and STTR phase research contracts and federal grants; it carries no subcontract footprint.
Aster Labs operates across two distinct capability domains. In aerospace research, the vendor delivers autonomous flight systems, multi-target tracking algorithms using random finite sets, deep space navigation techniques, and verification frameworks for electric vertical take-off and landing operations. Representative aerospace work includes a $749,791 NASA multi-target tracking contract for rendezvous and proximity operations (awarded July 2021, completed December 2023), a $749,779 Air Force STTR Phase II contract on Gaussian-Pareto overbounding for eVTOL and urban air mobility verification (March 2022 through June 2023), and a recently awarded $899,522 NASA Phase II STTR contract on autonomous storm detection and tracking using random finite sets (July 2026, extending through July 2028). In biomedical research, Aster Labs develops wearable sensor systems and automated monitoring platforms for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias care, including discrete electronic shoe insoles and gait-analysis devices. The vendor acts as a prime recipient on National Institute on Aging grants addressing activities of daily living detection, contact tracing for long-term care facilities, and continuous gait monitoring to detect health decline in Black adults with dementia; a $499,943 Project Grant awarded September 2025 focuses on precision wearable systems for gait monitoring in vulnerable populations.
Customer concentration sits heavily with NASA's Shared Services Center, which accounts for 20 awards (86% of award count) and $4.3 million in combined potential value across SBIR and STTR phase research. The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory anchors a smaller secondary customer base with 3 awards and $1.1 million in potential value. The National Institute on Aging represents the third-largest customer by award count (5 grants) but carries no stated dollar ceiling, indicating grant-funded work where obligations ($18.3 million across all awards) substantially exceed combined potential value ($5.6 million) — a pattern typical of multi-phase research grants with successive phase awards and cost-share mechanisms. Activity has declined year over year (3 awards in 2022 down to 1 in 2025 and 1 in 2026); four awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $900 thousand and face recompete exposure. Primary NAICS concentration falls in Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (15 awards), with secondary exposure in general science and technology R&D and engineering services. The vendor's award portfolio spans 36 contracts and grants across 10 distinct federal agencies, with nearly all work classified under space R&D services, general science and technology R&D, and defense-related applied research PSC categories.
