VISTA PHOTONICS, INC — National Aeronautics and Space Administration SBIR Phase III: SBIR PHASE III - MANUFACTURE AND DELIVERY OF COMPACT, BATTERY POWERED, OPTICAL SENSOR FLIG
VISTA PHOTONICS, INC — SBIR Phase III award from National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
Phase III transition / production-path signal
- Phase III work is typically non-SBIR set-aside follow-on. Seeing VISTA PHOTONICS, INC at Phase III is a strong transition indicator in this domain.
- Competitors studying dual-use scale-up should treat Phase III firms as graduation benchmarks, not just Phase I/II volume leaders.
- At $2,501,889, this is a large obligation for typical SBIR Phase sizing — worth reviewing for scope breadth and teaming opportunity.
- Tagged technology areas: Sensors & Sensor Fusion, Space & Satellite. Follow those hubs for open topics and peer winners in the same cluster.
Summary
Vista Photonics received nearly $2.5 million from NASA to manufacture and deliver compact, battery-powered optical sensor units that detect combustion products and ammonia. These Anomaly Gas sensors are intended for space flight applications to monitor air quality and safety.
