Masten Space Systems leveraged NASA SBIR/STTR solicitations to identify and respond to challenges with establishing a sustainable presence on the Moon. The company partnered with the program to study the effects of rocket engine plume impingement and blast during lunar landings and launches, and to develop a metal oxidation warming system (MOWS) technology, resulting in $2.8 million in funding from the NASA Tipping Point program to enhance the capability of the MOWS technology. Masten participated in the NASA SBIR/STTR I-Corps training program to help identify commercial uses for these technologies.
