5. 5 SBIR/STTR Background – Program Purpose The statutory purpose of the SBIR/STTR Programs is to strengthen the role of innovative small business concerns (SBC)s in federally-funded research or research and development (R/R&D). Specific program purposes are to: (1)Stimulate technological innovation; (2) Use small business to meet Federal R/R&D needs; (3) Foster and encourage participation by socially and economically disadvantaged SBCs, (4) increase private sector commercialization of innovations derived from Federal R/R&D, thereby increasing competition, productivity and economic growth, (5) and through STTR encourage cooperative research and development with non-profit research institutions, such as a universities; with the primary objective of facilitating the transfer of technology from research institutions through the entrepreneurship of small business contracts

6. 6 NASA Strategic Approach Every technology development investment dollar is critical to the ultimate success of NASA’s mission – Ensure alignment and integration with Mission Directorates’ priorities – Investments should be complementary with technologies being pursued by other OCT investments and partnerships Mission Directorates’ programs and projects prime contractors other agency SBIR/STTR investments Ultimate objective is to achieve infusion of critical technologies into NASA’s Mission Directorates’ – flight programs/projects – ground or test systems – or other uses to advance NASA’s mission Mission Directorates establish high priority needs and existing gaps – High priority needs are developed into topics for the annual solicitation – Subtopics may be clustered to support the development and maturation of critical technologies for infusion

7. 7 Inherent Challenges of Space Systems Surviving Launch Conditions: high g-load, vibration, payload fairing, deployment Functioning in Extreme Environments: radiation, temperature, gravity, vacuum Limited Power Availability High Degree of Autonomy and Reliability Long Range Communication and Navigation
