JENSEN DYNAMICS LLC — National Aeronautics and Space Administration SBIR Phase I: REDIRTS (REGOLITH DIRECT ROBOTIC TUBE SAMPLING)
JENSEN DYNAMICS 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 $223,180. Cross-check similar awards in the same agency and technology tags for going-rate context.
