OPTERUS RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, INC — National Aeronautics and Space Administration SBIR Phase I: BOOM-ACTUATED MORPHING SAIL SYSTEM
OPTERUS RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, 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 $224,930. 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
Opterus Research and Development received about $225,000 from NASA for a Phase I SBIR project to develop a boom-actuated morphing sail system. This aims to create adaptable sails that could improve spacecraft movement and structures in space.
