RESONON, INC. — National Aeronautics and Space Administration SBIR Phase I: S1
RESONON, INC. — 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 $124,945. Cross-check similar awards in the same agency and technology tags for going-rate context.
- Topic code S1 links this award to a solicitation family — search the same topic stem for incumbents and recompete timing.

Description
A new design for an airborne, high-performance, hyperspectral imager is proposed for measurement of ocean and cloud radiances.nbsp; Key components of the new design are the use of anamorphic fore-optics to increase the signal and dynamic range as compared to conventional hyperspectral imager designs, and a unique two-part (butcher-block) diffraction grating that allows the spectral response of the imager to be tailored to accommodate lower signal (and throughput) of ultraviolet and blue wavelengths (~340-450nm). nbsp; These innovations enable a compact, lightweight, airborne-compatible system that has better spatial resolution, a larger dynamic range, and greater signal-to-noise ratio than conventional hyperspectral imagers of similar size and specification.
