ADVANCED CERAMICS MANUFACTURING, LLC — National Aeronautics and Space Administration SBIR Phase I: DURABLE HYDROPHOBIC TPS COATINGS

ADVANCED CERAMICS MANUFACTURING, 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: Space & Satellite, Materials & Manufacturing. 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

This NASA SBIR Phase I award funds Advanced Ceramics Manufacturing to create durable water-repelling coatings for thermal protection systems used on spacecraft. The coatings aim to better shield vehicles from extreme heat and moisture during space missions.
