OPTO-ATOMICS CORP. — National Aeronautics and Space Administration SBIR Phase I: QUANTUM RYDBERG-ATOM FIELD TRANSDUCER

OPTO-ATOMICS CORP. — 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 $224,998. Cross-check similar awards in the same agency and technology tags for going-rate context.
  • Tagged technology areas: Quantum, Sensors & Sensor Fusion, 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

Opto-Atomics Corp won a $225k NASA Phase I SBIR award to develop a quantum Rydberg-atom field transducer. This sensor uses special atoms to precisely measure electromagnetic fields for potential space applications.
