M.M.A. DESIGN LLC — Department of Defense SBIR Phase II: AF103-089
M.M.A. DESIGN LLC — SBIR Phase II award from Department of Defense.
Phase II SBIR prototype / development signal
- Phase II is where Department of Defense 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.
- At $1,699,581, this is a large obligation for typical SBIR Phase sizing — worth reviewing for scope breadth and teaming opportunity.
- Topic code AF103-089 links this award to a solicitation family — search the same topic stem for incumbents and recompete timing.

Description
In the Department of Defense (DoD), as well as across the spaceflight industry, there is a rapidly growing need for Nanosatellites (Nanosat) that can support higher performance missions.By design, these satellites utilize common components and architectures to reduce production costs.As more involved technologies and capabilities are built into nanosats, higher peak and continuous power is required to allow them to utilize these technologies.In order to capitalize on these capabilities for both tactical and scientific value, these missions will require increased power to be available from the same Nanosat platform. Missions are now rapidly growing to the 6U-12U size and power requirements continue to grow. MMA Design LLC is currently developing a steerable solar array for Nanosat spacecraft that will support this next class of Nanosatellites.This technology will allow Nanosat solar arrays to be continuously adjusted (pointed) to the sun and simultaneously produce the highest power output possible to support the mission.MMA Designs steerable solar array will enable the DoD to meet future NanoSat mission needs and will provide the capability to deliver significant increases in continuous spacecraft power within a compact low mass solar array package.
