# Helio Advances NASA SBIR Prototypes

Helio Corporation reports that its NASA SBIR Phase II projects QSRM and Typhon have completed Engineering Development Unit milestones and are moving toward assembly and functional and environmental testing. The work covers a resettable, low-shock release mechanism and a deployable antenna and boom system for CubeSats. The update indicates continued technology maturation, but announces no new awards, contract values, schedules, or open solicitations; procurement professionals should treat it as a program-progress signal rather than an active bid opportunity.

- The projects are associated with NASA awards 80NSSC25C0051 (QSRM) and 80NSSC25C0066 (Typhon); procurement teams can use these identifiers to review the award records for program details and follow-on activity.
- Contractors developing spaceflight mechanisms, deployable structures, or related systems may find the progress relevant to assessing technology maturity and potential commercialization.
- No new solicitation or proposal deadline is identified in these reports.
