🚨 Calling all dual use space startups and small businesses! The third NASA SBIR IGNITE solicitation is NOW LIVE. SBIR Ignite provides a way for small businesses that have a commercially viable technology idea to use NASA as a stepping stone in their path towards #commercial success.     With a greater emphasis on commercialization, SBIR Ignite funds U.S. early-stage, high-risk technology development to help make companies and their technologies more attractive to private sector investors, customers, and partners. This year we are seeking proposals in 3 broad topic areas:    1. Aviation-Ready Electrical Energy Storage for All-Electric or Hybrid Electric Aircraft  2. Decision Support Tools Leveraging NASA Earth Science Data  3. Leak Free Cryogenic Valves and Quick Disconnects    Submissions are being accepted through Tuesday, July 30, 2024, at 5 pm ET on the program's submission interface—ProSAMS (Proposal Submissions and Award Management System). The NASA SBIR/STTR program designed ProSAMS to be an intuitive, user-friendly system that will help streamline the program's application, review, and award management processes.    Find the solicitation here: SAM.gov  Register for the new submission platform (ProSAMS) here: https://prosams.nasa.gov/  Learn more about SBIR Ignite here: SBIR Ignite (nasa.gov)    #startups #funding #technology #techdevelopment #space #aeronautics #research

The official Announcement for Proposal for lease of NASA Glenn Research Center's Cryogenics Components Lab located in Sandusky, Ohio has been released! Check it out! This Announcement for Proposal (AFP) solicits proposals for lease of the Cryogenics Components Laboratory (CCL Complex) at NASA’s Neil Armstrong Test Facility (ATF) in Sandusky Ohio, an underutilized, non-excess test facility used for the development and qualification of cryogenic materials, components, and systems. This solicitation includes both the test facilities and the accompanying land parcels required for a tenant to perform operations onsite.  Date for Site Visit Requests NLT March 29, 2024 Q&A Submission End Date: April 5, 2024 Proposal Submission Deadline: May 17, 2024 Ohio Aerospace Institute Parallax Advanced Research JobsOhio Team NEO NASA Armstrong Advocacy Coalition #nasa #cryogenics #businessopportunity #partnership #aerospace #manufacturing #healthcare #science #technology

We're thinking about #space and of course always about #biology and #biotechnology, too, here at #BTO at Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). We can make a lot of things happen technologically and have (not bragging - stating facts), but for some questions we do want to take a pulse check: what is REALLY needed form a #biomanufacturing perspective to support long-term civilian space? Bio is GREAT for #spacemanufacturing --> #MakeItDontTakeIt!!!! 🪙-->🧠(penny for your thoughts) --> tell Lenny Tender and Andrew KD Younger (BTO's space nerds (not excluding Michael "Orbit" Nayak, CFII, PhD but other office)!) From the intro :"The Biological Technologies Office (BTO) of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) seeks to gain a better understanding of the economic drivers and technological advances needed for the establishment of sustainable civilian presence in Low Earth Orbit (LEO), the lunar surface, and beyond." 🚀 🛰️🚀🌖🚀🚀🚀🚀☀️ https://lnkd.in/dXNa2zSE

It is inspiring in learning that DARPAhttps://lnkd.in/g3zCHHyc #BTO is leading this incredible endeavor https://lnkd.in/gnVAVD-j! #Biotechnology and #biomanufacturing can do wonders for #spacemanufacturing; producing food in space can be the first. Growing veggies/crops in space has been systematically explored for 10+ years. While some challenges on elements like light and temperature (circadian clocking) can be addressed by existing space agriculture engineering, others related to gravity-affected physiology may need yet-to-be-developed gene-engineering #biotechnology. Unlike futuristic gravity-insensitive veggies/crops, food-producing microbial technology (by precision fermentation) is present (and contributing to the efforts to render our earthly presence more sustainable). One might say that such microbes are already gravity-insensitive. Economic drivers for further advancing precision fermentation technology can come from this DARPA's endeavor and the efforts towards food #sustainability; the strategic benefits can be for both as well. The precision fermentation industry is at a critical moment; for instance, economic scale-up for alternative proteins is in urgent need for continued financial and policy supports. The precision fermentation biotechnology is translational; space precision fermentation can be a key part of the DARPA's endeavor. Space precision fermentation can provide much more (than food): micronutrients, cosmetics, medicines, functional materials, ... tmtc stuffs sustaining and enriching not only life but also pleasure (like cocoa-free imitated chocolate, authentic beer).    DARPA, it's time to lift precision fermentation, #biotechnology, #biomanufacturing, off into space. #precisionfermentation #altprotein

🚀 NASA SEWP VI Update: Deadline Extended! 🚀 NASA has released Amendment 4 and extended the submission deadline for SEWP VI.

Yesterday, NASA issued Amendment 1 for SEWP VI! While this update didn't extend the response deadline (still set for July 11), it corrected administrative and typographical errors in the documents and attachments. If you plan to bid on SEWP VI, don't miss out—download the latest documents dated June 13 to ensure your package is complete and up-to-date. #NASASEWPVI #Procurement #ContractingUpdate

A great opportunity for companies with innovative technologies that support these important wildland fire use cases: Persistent Monitoring – The persistent collection, processing, and dissemination of remote sensing information to inform timely decision-making for 24-hour aerial firefighting operations. Persistent Communication – The interoperable satellite, mobile, terrestrial, and aerial communication networks that provide reliable communication and connectivity to support airborne and ground operations for 24-hour aerial firefighting operations. Logistics – The use of remotely piloted aircraft, autonomy, and supporting technology that enable cargo and supply delivery to and around a wildland fire incident. Aerial Suppression – The use of remotely-piloted and/or optionally-piloted aircraft, autonomy, and supporting models and technologies that are necessary to conduct mission planning, provide a precision drop, verify water/retardant drop effectiveness, tactically re-task more precision drops, and reload water and/or suppressant. #wildlandfire #dronesforgood #NASA
