ASTROBOTIC TECHNOLOGY INC — National Aeronautics and Space Administration SBIR Phase II: FY24 SBIR PHASE II - FLOATINATOR: A LOW GRAVITY SIMULATOR TO STUDY PLUME-SURFACE INTERACTI
ASTROBOTIC TECHNOLOGY INC — 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 $849,919 is consistent with substantial Phase II-scale effort; compare to related awards from the same agency.
- Tagged technology areas: Space & Satellite, Modeling & Simulation. Follow those hubs for open topics and peer winners in the same cluster.
Summary
Astrobotic Technology Inc received nearly $850,000 from NASA to build a low-gravity simulator called FLOATINATOR. The device will let researchers safely study how rocket exhaust interacts with surfaces during planetary landings.
