12 Companies Advance to Phase II of NASA's SBIR Ignite Program - top government contractors - best government contracting event

Twelve small businesses and startup companies were awarded Phase II grants under NASA’s Small Business Innovation Research Ignite program.

The pilot initiative advanced all projects that received Phase I awards in 2022, which specialize in areas including climate resilience, solar energy, additive manufacturing and recycling, NASA said Friday.

SBIR Ignite was created to attract companies that would not typically undertake a project with NASA. The program aims to make commercially appealing technologies more visible to investors, while helping the space agency put government-backed innovations into market.

Some of the chosen technologies are reusable heatshields produced through additive manufacturing, silicon-based solar arrays for space infrastructure, wildfire risk prediction and mitigation tools, and a low-cost cube satellite that can remove space debris.

The awardees are:

  • Ampaire
  • Canopy Aerospace
  • Cecilia Energy
  • Crystal Sonic
  • H3X Technologies
  • Outpost Technologies
  • re:3D
  • Solestial
  • StormImpact
  • Terrafuse
  • Trans Astronautica
  • Turion Space
