Kymeta Government Solutions Receives Two NASA SBIR Grant Awards

 

“These grants will allow Kymeta Government Solutions (KGS) to supply NASA with our proprietary metamaterials-based low SWaP flat panel solutions for satellite-to-satellite and satellite-to-ground/ground-to-satellite communications, starting with CubeSats, which are about the size of a loaf of bread,” said David Kervin, General Manager and Vice President of Kymeta Government Solutions.

Organizations receiving SBIR grants are required to develop solutions with practical significance that have both commercial and non-commercial applications. They also must provide the potential to fulfill NASA needs. “Kymeta’s Government Solutions CubeSat antenna has the potential to completely change LEO satellite communications,” said Kervin. “The NASA SBIR Projects program grants we have received are yet a further testament to Kymeta innovation capabilities.”

Kymeta’s announcement comes days after the grand finale of the Cassini Mission, noted for its ground-breaking discoveries using 20^th century technology. “The Cassini Mission launched in October 1997 with the best technology of the time,” said Kervin. “Kymeta Government Solutions is leveraging the new standard for space and satellite communications. These NASA grants will further our ability to develop solutions to hard problems for government, military and commercial applications, wherever that technology may travel.”
