BEAM ENGINEERING FOR ADVANCED MEASUREMENTS CO. — National Aeronautics and Space Administration SBIR Phase I: BROADBAND HIGH EFFICIENCY ULTRALIGHT DIFFRACTIVE FILMS FOR SOLAR SAIL MOMENTUM MANAGEMENT
BEAM ENGINEERING FOR ADVANCED MEASUREMENTS CO. — 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 $224,213. Cross-check similar awards in the same agency and technology tags for going-rate context.
- Tagged technology areas: Space & Satellite, Materials & Manufacturing. Follow those hubs for open topics and peer winners in the same cluster.
Summary
This NASA SBIR Phase I award funds development of ultralight diffractive films to control momentum on solar sails used for space propulsion. The films aim to be broadband, highly efficient, and lightweight to support future NASA missions.
