SBIR, STTR proposals picked

NASA selected four small business proposals involving technologies being developed for the Office of the Chief Technologist at Stennis Space Center, Miss., for contract negotiations and continued development. The programs were selected through NASA's Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs. One selected proposal was from SSC-based Innovative Imaging and Research Corp., working with the University of Houston. Overall, NASA chose 58 proposals valued at about $40.5 million in the latest round of selections for the two small business programs. (Source: NASA, 05/02/13)
