Proposals should focus on adapting commercially available radar technologies—especially mm-wave and cm-wave radar System-on-Chip (SoC) components—for use in the harsh conditions of space. \nIdeal solutions are:\n– Low-SWaP (Size\, Weight\, and Power)\n– Resistant to dust and lighting extremes\n– Applicable to both space missions and Earth-based autonomy systems \nThis is a great opportunity for radar innovators\, autonomy-focused startups\, and sensor developers looking to bring their tech to new markets — both on and off the planet. \nhttps: nasa.gov/sbir_sttr/sbir-ignite/[/vc_column_text]\n		Register Here\n							[/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Proposals may integrate real-time sensing\, analytics\, and automation to improve part quality\, reduce rework\, and enable more reliable production of critical aerospace components. \nSubtopic 101.02: Computational Design of New Materials\, Processes\, and Products Leveraging the Microgravity Environment of Space\n– This topic calls for ICME-based approaches that design and simulate next-gen materials and manufacturing processes tailored for microgravity environments. Proposals should accelerate materials discovery\, deepen scientific understanding\, and unlock scalable commercial manufacturing opportunities in space. \nSubtopic 104.01: Modular\, Scalable Robotic Subcomponents to Unlock Scalable Robotic Manufacturing & Assembly in Remote\, Challenging Environments\n– NASA is looking for robust\, modular robotic components designed to operate in harsh space environments and integrate into scalable systems for in-orbit\, lunar\, or planetary manufacturing. Think building blocks for future in-space infrastructure. \nThis session is ideal for startups\, small businesses\, and advanced tech developers in additive manufacturing\, robotics\, materials science\, or microgravity R&D. \nhttps: nasa.gov/sbir_sttr/sbir-ignite/[/vc_column_text]\n		Register Here\n							[vc_column_text text_style=”small-text”]Thursday\, June 12 – Low-Cost Radar for Planetary Navigation and Autonomy AMA Register Here[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]
