About the company
Magma Space Inc., a for-profit small business based in Washington, DC, develops magnetically levitated spacecraft attitude-control components and flywheel energy storage systems under contract to the Air Force Research Laboratory and as a recipient of federal research grants, operating exclusively as a prime contractor across all eight awards in its recent portfolio.
The company's federal footprint is concentrated in Air Force Research Laboratory SBIR and STTR programs focused on magnetic bearing technology. Magma Space has received five AFRL awards totaling $5.9 million, spanning SBIR Phase I and Phase II development of magnetically levitated reaction wheels, STTR Phase II development of magnetic bearing reaction wheels for low-jitter spacecraft operation, and engineering of a 4-axis stabilized control system for satellite navigation integration. Representative contracts include a $2 million firm-fixed-price STTR Phase II purchase order (September 2024, ultimate completion October 2026) for magnetic bearing reaction wheels, a $2 million SBIR Phase II definitive contract (March 2026, ultimate completion March 2028) for magnetically levitated reaction wheels, and a $1.9 million firm-fixed-price definitive contract (March 2025, ultimate completion May 2026) for the 4-axis control system. All AFRL awards carry total small business set-aside designations; one 2025 AFRL contract carried no set-aside. Place of performance is Magma Space's Washington, DC headquarters.
Beyond AFRL, Magma Space has received two awards from NASA totaling $883 thousand for magnetic bearing technology development and a $275 thousand National Science Foundation Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program grant (February 2023 through January 2024) for semi-active magnetic bearing feasibility demonstration in carbon-fiber flywheel energy storage systems serving both space and terrestrial applications. Activity has been sparse but sustained—one award per year across 2021, 2023, and 2024, with two awards in 2025 and 2026 respectively. One award carrying $2 million in potential value reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and faces recompete exposure.
Magma Space competes under NAICS 541712 (Research and Development in Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences) and PSC codes spanning national defense R&D and space R&D activities. The company's capability portfolio is narrow and specialized: magnetic bearing and magnetically levitated reaction wheel design, manufacturing, and integration for spacecraft attitude control and energy storage, grounded entirely in SBIR/STTR innovation funding. The vendor maintains no subcontract footprint and no seats on government-wide vehicles in the source data.
