Space Prime

Space Prime will pursue a nascent technology sector that, if “primed” by SpaceWERX engagement, could advance U.S. national security and economic prosperity. Space Prime will utilize the Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Specific Topic process as one of many means to advance space technologies in pursuit of this goal. 

Space Prime is our strong signal to academia, industry, investment, interagency, and international partners on a specific mission area where we aim to energize the space industrial base and develop on-orbit capability in an accelerated timeline. We are targeting operational capability in two to four years.

The Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) program was established in 1992 to fund cooperative R&D projects with small businesses and non-profit U.S. research institutions, such as universities. Five federal agencies participate, including the Department of Defense. 

This interactive virtual event will serve as an Ask-me-anything prior to the 17 Nov STTR release.
