Exploration Technology Group Corp.
Federal recipient of NASA SBIR Phase I contract 80NSSC25C0203 for a high-test peroxide generation system described as producing monopropellant from lunar water and oxygen. The selection abstract names the same firm in San Francisco and describes a bench-scale Prometheus concept. No flight, lunar test, or Phase II award is established.
An organization's level is recorded separately and is not a ranking of its linked missions' results. How the ladder works.
Resources and evidence
Each resource shows the highest step primary sources support. How the ladder works.
Demonstrated
The abstract says the proposed funding would be used for a bench-scale prototype and safety analysis. No completed prototype, test result, or lunar resource processing is in the captured records.
Claimed or planned
The award description and the selection abstract describe peroxide production from water and oxygen for lunar or Martian propellant use.
Facts
- Type
- Company
- Status
- UnknownStatus date not recorded. The USAspending award record, captured 2026-11-02, identifies the recipient and a period of performance that ended 2026-05-15. That end date does not establish whether the company still operates. The selection abstract's firm address and the award record's recipient location are both on Chestnut Street in San Francisco; the abstract also lists a different San Francisco address for the principal investigator.

NASA SBIR Phase I contract for Exploration Technology Group peroxide generation
USAspending identifies NASA contract 80NSSC25C0203, signed 2025-09-23, for SBIR Phase I work on a high-test peroxide generation system for monopropellant production from lunar water and oxygen. Captured on 2026-11-02, total_obligation and total_outlay are both 149330.0. That match is a federal-record snapshot, not a technical result or a separate proof of payment.

- The structured amount is left unset. The captured total_obligation and total_outlay are equal snapshot fields on one award record, not a separately reviewed payment instrument.
- No technical report was captured, so obligation and outlay figures do not show that a bench prototype was built.
Open evidence gaps
- No state corporate registry record was captured. The federal recipient name and UEI WTCDZLW2RV15 identify the award recipient; they do not by themselves show current operations after the 2026-05-15 period end.
- The selection abstract lists the principal investigator at 1218 3rd Ave, San Francisco, a different street from the firm address. Neither address is a headquarters. headquarters_country is null. The award record's recipient country is the United States, and that country is not stored as a headquarters.
- The abstract's TRL range of 2 to 4 is the proposal's estimate. The permitted award snapshot and abstract contain no completion report, prototype result, or Phase II award.
- HTTP Last-Modified on the selection PDF was 2025-07-31. The abstract pages reviewed do not print a separate publication date.
