NORTHWEST RESEARCH ASSOCIATES, INC. — National Aeronautics and Space Administration SBIR Phase I: DAFFS-4PI FOR FULL-HELIOSPHERE SOLAR EVENT FORECASTING
NORTHWEST RESEARCH ASSOCIATES, 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.
- Obligated amount $224,921. Cross-check similar awards in the same agency and technology tags for going-rate context.
- Tagged technology areas: Space & Satellite, Modeling & Simulation. Follow those hubs for open topics and peer winners in the same cluster.
Summary
Northwest Research Associates won a $225k NASA Phase I SBIR award to develop DAFFS-4PI, a tool for forecasting solar events across the full heliosphere. The project aims to improve predictions of space weather that can affect satellites, power grids, and communications.
