LUNA LABS USA LLC — National Aeronautics and Space Administration SBIR Phase I: EASILY-APPLIED HYDROPHOBIC COATING FOR REUSABLE THERMAL PROTECTION SYSTEMS
LUNA LABS USA LLC — 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 $224,999. Cross-check similar awards in the same agency and technology tags for going-rate context.
- Tagged technology areas: Materials & Manufacturing, Space & Satellite. Follow those hubs for open topics and peer winners in the same cluster.
Summary
Luna Labs USA LLC received about $225,000 from NASA to develop a simple-to-apply water-repelling coating for reusable heat shields used in space travel. This Phase I SBIR project aims to improve thermal protection systems for spacecraft.
