Firestar’s professional experience demonstrates diversity of knowledge which aids in product development and the core sciences which support innovation.

NOFB Monopropellants are a non-toxic, space storable, propulsion alternative with attractive system level properties which could compete with a number of heritage in space propulsion technologies.

The Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) and Raman Spectroscopy Integrated Instrument is a joint effort with the Colorado School of Mines, funded under NASA ASTID to develop an instrument capable of rapidly analyzing the chemistry of surfaces.

RIDD is former NASA Phase I project which investigated composites for use as a deployable space habitat.

Pulsed Cavity Ring Down Laser Spectroscopy in a Hollow Waveguide is a NASA ASTID-funded project to develop an instrument for trace gas detection in collaboration with the Colorado School of Mines. 

The SILVRCLAW project is funded under the NASA Mars Technology Program to develop an inflatable, rigidizing wheel for extraterrestrial exploration.
