About Space Exploration Engineering, LLC
Space Exploration Engineering, LLC, a small business based in Columbia, Maryland, delivers spacecraft trajectory design, flight dynamics systems, mission planning, and cislunar operations support to NASA and the Air Force Research Laboratory as both a prime contractor (56% of awards) and subcontractor on federal space exploration programs. The firm operates as a limited liability partnership and does not hold any federal contract vehicles or IDVs; all prime work flows through direct definitive contracts under the SBIR program and other full-and-open procurements, with no set-aside posture across the recent footprint.
Space Exploration Engineering's customer base is heavily concentrated in space agencies. The Air Force Research Laboratory leads by dollar volume — three SBIR awards totaling $3.2 million in combined potential value — while NASA splits across five centers: Shared Services Center (two awards, $1.2 million combined potential value), Ames Research Center (two awards, value not separately specified), Goddard Space Flight Center (one award), and Johnson Space Center (one award). All nine awards across the nine-year source window align to research and development in physical and engineering sciences, with secondary coding in space R&D services and applied research. Recent prime work includes a $939,998 definitive contract from NASA's Shared Services Center for FY26 SBIR Phase III space exploration engineering (ultimate completion July 29, 2027), a $289,937 SBIR Phase III contract for Helioswarm Flight Dynamics System development (completion December 22, 2025), and a $1.611 million SBIR Phase II award from the Air Force Research Laboratory for cislunar and lunar mission preparation and operations (completion February 28, 2026). All three prime awards are total small business set-asides at award, though the vendor's routine posture does not favor set-aside competition.
Activity remains episodic — one to two awards per year in 2021–2022, jumping to two awards each in 2025 and 2026 — suggesting project-cycle rather than continuous-revenue dynamics. One award ($939,998) faces recompete within the next twenty-four months. In subcontract roles, Space Exploration Engineering provides spacecraft trajectory design, mission design, navigation and operations, and mission concept review to Booz Allen Hamilton on an Artemis campaign development assessment contract, and performs IBEX mission life-cycle management and spacecraft operations support under The Trustees of Princeton University. Across both prime and sub work, the vendor's footprint is narrow: cislunar and lunar mission engineering, heliophysics mission support, and flight dynamics modeling for government space programs, with no commercial or terrestrial work visible in the source.
