SBIR Phase II: Rotating detonation combustion satellite thruster using novel, non-toxic propellants -the broader/commercial impact of this small business innovation research Phase II project is the development of a novel high-efficiency and non-toxic in-space propulsion system to improve payload capacity by up to 50%, extend mission lifespans by years, and double the speed to reach the target orbit for satellites and space vehicles. The end goal is the creation of a production-ready propulsion system, building upon previous work experimentally demonstrating the unique efficiency gain of the core technology: Rotating detonation combustion. After an intended first flight of a minimal viable product on-orbit in 2027, the production development will focus on minimizing the system mass, further optimizing the thruster performance, and preparing a pipeline for first units for sale. This program is designed to accelerate the technology development from first flight to delivery to satellite manufacturing customers, unlocking a faster, more dynamic, and more capable fleet for both commercial and defense applications. The scope of the project is to rapidly advance the rapid technology readiness level (trl) and commercial viability of a novel in-space propulsion system employing unique non-toxic propellants via rotating detonation combustion. Rotating detonation combustion (rdc) utilizes ...

The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs set aside part of federal research budgets for small companies. Agencies award them in phases: Phase I tests whether an idea is feasible, Phase II funds development, and Phase III is follow-on work paid for outside the set-aside. STTR awards also require a research institution as a partner.
Every figure on this page is taken from the award's own federal record, linked beside it, as it stood when the page was built: the recipient, its address, the awarding agency and office, the amount obligated so far, the dates and the description. Phase and program are shown as the award's own description states them. The amount can grow later if the agency adds funding to the same award.
