OUTPOST TECHNOLOGIES, INC. — National Aeronautics and Space Administration SBIR Phase I: METAL FLUORIDE PURIFICATION AND MICROGRAVITY FIBER PREFORM MANUFACTURING FOR FIBER MEMORY
OUTPOST TECHNOLOGIES, 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.
- Tagged technology areas: Quantum, Materials & Manufacturing, Space & Satellite. Follow those hubs for open topics and peer winners in the same cluster.
Summary
Outpost Technologies received about $225,000 from NASA to develop methods for purifying metal fluorides and making special glass fibers in space. These fibers will be used to create memory loops for quantum computers.
