NASA has selected 10 small business proposals from Maryland to enter
into negotiations for possible contract awards through the agency's
Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and the Small Business
Technology Transfer (STTR) programs.
These competitive awards-based programs encourage U.S. small
businesses and research institutions to engage in federal research,
development and commercialization. The programs enable teams to
explore technological potential while providing the incentive to
profit from new commercial products and services.
Innovative research areas among proposals include:
Improved technologies related to in-flight airframe and engine icing
hazards for piloted and drone vehicles to prevent encounters with
hazardous conditions and mitigation of their effects when they occur
Design of electronics, hardened for radiation and thermal cycling,
which are capable of enduring the extreme temperature and radiation
environments of deep space, and the lunar and Martian surfaces
Development of small, low-cost remote sensing and in situ
instruments to enable science measurement capabilities with smaller
or more affordable spacecraft that meet multiple mission needs while
making the best use of limited resources
Innovative research in the areas of positioning, navigation and
timing that will enable accurate and precise determination of
location and orientation of spacecraft to allow corrections to
course, orientation and velocity to attain a desired destination
