ULTRAMET — National Aeronautics and Space Administration SBIR Phase II: SBIR PHASE II - HIGH-EMISSIVITY CVD DENDRITIC RHENIUM COATINGS FOR NEP RADIATOR PANELS, PH
ULTRAMET — SBIR Phase II award from National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
Phase II SBIR prototype / development signal
- Phase II is where National Aeronautics and Space Administration funds deeper R&D after feasibility. Incumbents with Phase II history are serious competitors on adjacent topics.
- Use this award as past-performance context and to map customer organizations for STRATFI/TACFI-style transition planning.
- Obligated amount $850,000 is consistent with substantial Phase II-scale effort; compare to related awards from the same agency.
- Tagged technology areas: Space & Satellite, Materials & Manufacturing, Power & Energy. Follow those hubs for open topics and peer winners in the same cluster.
Summary
Ultramet won an $850k NASA Phase II SBIR award to develop high-emissivity rhenium coatings using chemical vapor deposition for radiator panels in nuclear electric propulsion systems. The work aims to improve heat rejection for future spacecraft power systems.
