PHYSICAL SCIENCES INC. — National Aeronautics and Space Administration SBIR Phase III: SBIR PHASE III - GROUND BASED UPLINK AND BEACON LASER FOR LONG RANGE COMMUNICATIONS

PHYSICAL SCIENCES 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 PHYSICAL SCIENCES 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.
  • Obligated amount $84,998. Cross-check similar awards in the same agency and technology tags for going-rate context.
  • Tagged technology areas: Space & Satellite, Communications/Networking. Follow those hubs for open topics and peer winners in the same cluster.
