ULTRAMET — National Aeronautics and Space Administration SBIR Phase I: SBIR PHASE I 80NSSC25C0392 THIN FLEXIBLE OXIDATION-RESISTANT COATINGS FOR 3D-WOVEN CARBON

ULTRAMET — SBIR Phase I award from National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Phase I SBIR feasibility signal

  • Phase I awards fund proof-of-concept work. For capture teams, they mark early interest from National Aeronautics and Space Administration in a technical approach.
  • Watch for Phase II follow-ons from the same firm/topic family — that conversion path is where budgets and transition pressure rise.
  • Obligated amount $156,500. Cross-check similar awards in the same agency and technology tags for going-rate context.
  • Tagged technology areas: Materials & Manufacturing, Space & Satellite. Follow those hubs for open topics and peer winners in the same cluster.

Informational capture context from public federal data — not legal or bid advice.

Summary

Ultramet won a $156,500 NASA SBIR Phase I award to develop thin, flexible oxidation-resistant coatings for 3D-woven carbon fabrics used in thermal protection systems. The work targets improved heat-shield materials for spacecraft.
