As NASA continues to innovate in the space exploration, scientific, and research industries, small businesses will be critical to its success. Each socioeconomic category plays a unique role in cultivating the vendors needed to ensure success. March is Women’s History Month, and the NASA Office of Small Business Programs remains committed to helping Women-Owned Small Businesses (WOSB) gain the tools to access agency procurement opportuni...

NASA's Langley Research Center Innovators have developed a Calibration System for Automated Fiber Placement (AFP) machines. AFP is a modern composites-manufacturing method offering speed, repeatability, and waste-minimization benefits over traditional layup techniques. Used to make aerospace parts and wind-turbine blades, AFP employs a robotic arm to apply strips of carbon fiber prepreg (aka composite tape or tows) to build up a composite part...

As NASA continues to innovate in the space exploration, scientific, and research industries, small businesses will be critical to its success. Congressman Joe Morelle, New York’s 25th Congressional District, and Associate Administrator Glenn A. Delgado of NASA’s Office of Small Business Programs invite you to join a virtual event on small business contracting to support space exploration, technology, research, and the Artemis Progr...

The Mitchell Institute invites you to join our virtual Aerospace Nation event on Spectrum Warfare on Thursday, February 17 at 10:00 AM ET. The electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) is an increasingly competitive domain. The joint force creates effects both in the EMS and through the EMS into all other warfighting domains. If we lose the fight in the EMS, we will lose the fight in all other domains. Our spectrum warfare panel represents all aspects of...

In the multi-domain battlefield, personnel rely on a geographically dispersed, connected network of sensors, platforms, and weapon systems to execute their missions in harsh and contested environments. Mission planning must accurately incorporate the evaluation of network performance and cyber resilience in a holistic survivability context based on realistic tactical environments. The network digital twin concept has become a viable solution t...

Join us for the next NASA Startup Series virtual event. This webinar series provides an opportunity for you to hear about early-stage companies that have licensed technologies developed at NASA and are working to commercialize these innovations. On February 16th, at 2pm ET, representatives from Stratodynamics Inc. will be presenting on their experience working with NASA. Stratodynamics Inc. is a leader in high-altitude aerial vehicles and flig...

As NASA continues to innovate in the space exploration, scientific, and research industries, small businesses will be critical to its success. Each entity plays a unique role in cultivating the vendors needed to ensure success. Join us for an interactive webinar on the various opportunities available for underrepresented communities. Attendees can also expect to unpack the barriers, to entry, that underserved communities face when participatin...

Innovators at the NASA Glenn Research Center have developed a new oxide dispersion strengthened medium entropy alloy (ODS-MEA) using additive manufacturing (AM). ODS alloys, in which nano-scale ceramic particles are distributed within the metal, were originally developed to enhance mechanical properties (e.g., creep resistance, tensile strength, microstructure integrity) at extreme temperatures. Thus, such alloys show promise for metal compone...

Innovators at NASA's Glenn Research Center have developed a rapid processing method that produces stronger, tailored silicon carbide (SiC) tows and even heals damaged or otherwise low-quality fibers. Never before could poor-quality SiC fibers be healed and improved by this magnitude. This simple microwave process enables SiC tows and parts made from SiC fibers to be integrated into previously impossible applications while significantly saving...
