HEROICA TECHNOLOGIES, LLC — National Aeronautics and Space Administration SBIR Phase I: ML-GUIDED DESIGN OF LENS-EMBEDDED PHOTONIC CRYSTALS FOR NASA INSTRUMENT MINIATURIZATION
HEROICA TECHNOLOGIES, 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 $224,975. Cross-check similar awards in the same agency and technology tags for going-rate context.
- Tagged technology areas: Artificial Intelligence/ML, Space & Satellite, Materials & Manufacturing, Sensors & Sensor Fusion. Follow those hubs for open topics and peer winners in the same cluster.
Summary
