The platform focuses on utilization of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and blends SAR with Harmonized Landsat-8 and Sentinel-2 (“HLS”) during Phase 1. During Phase 2 and forward, ASOMIS is geared at planned missions including Landsat-9, ECOSTRESS (ECOsystem Spaceborne Thermal Radiometer Experiment on Space Station), and NASA-ISRO SAR (NISAR). This SBIR is directly relevant to NASA; Helps address a shortcoming of SMAP due to sensor failure Develops a direct pipeline between NASA and USDA programs ARS / SCAN / LTAR Supports development of ECOSTRESS and NISAR Missions Supports new NASA programs and Applied Sciences priorities (EOFSAC, agriculture, water resources) Helps bridge the gap of within existing Decision Support Tools with operational field scale metrics of soil moisture, irrigation status, and crop water stress Builds on prior success and lineage with growing Public Private Partnerships ASOMIS uses operational Earth Observations and multi-scale fusion techniques to map soil moisture, irrigation status, and crop water stress metrics at moderate resolution (<30m) or “field scale”. This is a huge gap in existing decision support tools and food security programs. Opportunities to leverage new operational Sentinel-1 C-band and planned L-band and P-band SAR missions (NISAR, BIOMASS) and thermal observations (ECOTRESS) are a game changer. Further, the ability to fuse Harmonized Landsat-8 and Sentinel-2 (“HLS”) with MODIS / VIIRS for near daily monitoring of Evapotranspiration (ET) at moderate scale using cloud computing and robust fusion techniques has created an exciting concept for the agricultural community to advance field scale monitoring and assessment.","startYear":2018,"startMonth":7,"endYear":2019,"endMonth":2,"statusDescription":"Completed","principalInvestigators":[{"contactId":351897,"canUserEdit":false,"firstName":"Nathan","lastName":"Torbick","fullName":"Nathan

The NASA SBIR and STTR programs fund the research, development, and demonstration of innovative technologies that fulfill NASA needs as described in the annual Solicitations and have significant potential for successful commercialization. If you are a small business concern (SBC) with 500 or fewer employees or a non-profit RI such as a university or a research laboratory with ties to an SBC, then NASA encourages you to learn more about the SBIR and STTR programs as a potential source of seed funding for the development of your innovations.
The SBIR and STTR programs have 3 phases:
The SBIR and STTR Phase I contracts last for 6 months with a maximum funding of $125,000, and Phase II contracts last for 24 months with a maximum funding of $750,000 - $1.5 million.
Opportunity for Continued Technology Development Post-Phase II:
The NASA SBIR/STTR Program currently has in place two initiatives for supporting its small business partners past the basic Phase I and Phase II elements of the program that emphasize opportunities for commercialization. Specifically, the NASA SBIR/STTR Program has the Phase II Enhancement (Phase II-E) and Phase II eXpanded (Phase II-X) contract options.
