ECHELON ORBITAL INC. — National Aeronautics and Space Administration STTR Phase I: THERMOSPHERIC ORBIT INVESTIGATION
ECHELON ORBITAL INC. — STTR Phase I award from National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
Phase I STTR 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 $224,946. Cross-check similar awards in the same agency and technology tags for going-rate context.
- Tagged technology areas: Space & Satellite. Follow those hubs for open topics and peer winners in the same cluster.
