CREARE LLC — National Aeronautics and Space Administration SBIR Phase I: EFFICIENT 1U CUBESAT CRYOCOOLER ELECTRONICS FOR 20 W ROTARY CRYOCOOLERS

CREARE 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 $224,985. Cross-check similar awards in the same agency and technology tags for going-rate context.
  • Tagged technology areas: Space & Satellite, Microelectronics, Power & Energy. 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

Creare LLC won a $225,000 NASA Phase I SBIR award to develop compact, efficient electronics for a cryocooler that fits inside a 1U CubeSat and supports 20-watt rotary coolers. The work aims to help small satellites keep sensitive instruments at the right temperature in space.
