NASA Awards $96 Million to U.S. Small Businesses for Tech Research, Development
NASA has selected 128 proposals from American small businesses to advance research and technology in Phase II of its 2017 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program. These selections support NASA’s future space exploration missions, while also benefiting the U.S. economy.
A number of these businesses will engage in research and technology development aimed at advancing the capabilities of small spacecraft. NASA is currently leveraging the capabilities of small spacecraft as a new innovation tool to achieve the Agency’s goals and objectives.
