POLARONYX INC — National Aeronautics and Space Administration SBIR Phase I: Z10
POLARONYX 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 $124,981. Cross-check similar awards in the same agency and technology tags for going-rate context.
- Topic code Z10 links this award to a solicitation family — search the same topic stem for incumbents and recompete timing.

Description
This NASA SBIR Phase I proposal presents an unprecedented laser additive manufacturing system for making Hall-effect thruster discharge channels, by using a pulsed fiber laser. It is the enabling technology for manufacturing desired density and repeatability. With our successful history in AM and SM processing, this proposal has a great potential to succeed. A proof of concept demonstration along with simulation will be carried out and samples will be delivered at the end of Phase 1. Prototypes in compliance with the discharge channel requirements will be delivered at the end of Phase II.
