Dioxide Materials, Inc.

U.S. company included for NASA SBIR Phase I project 80NSSC25C0188, developing an electrochemical pump to capture and pressurize Martian atmospheric carbon dioxide for in-situ resource utilization. SBIR.gov lists a $150,000 award and a performance schedule from 21 August 2025 to 27 March 2026. The abstract describes proposed development, not a demonstrated pump on Mars.

Open evidence gaps

  • Only the federal award record was reviewed for this scoped profile; corporate-register status, founding year and current follow-on work are unestablished.
  • The $150,000 is the award database's total award amount, not a verified payment or company-wide funding total.
  • The resources category other refers to carbon dioxide feedstock. The award abstract is a proposal; no completed Mars test or flight is established.
