I would like to welcome everyone to the year 2021. Last year was a very challenging one for humanity, but I am optimistic that 2021 will be much more positive.
One of the most exciting things to already happen this year was that on January 8th, ScreamingBox submitted four (4) Phase 1 Space Technology Solution proposals to NASA, via the Small Business Innovation Research program:

Starting in March, NASA will select the best proposals from all those submitted for funding, and those winning proposals will receive up to $125,000 from NASA to fund Phase 1 development.
Our NASA initiative was started more than a year ago by our Co-Founder Tamas Holczer, who ran, organized and managed all the proposals. He worked with a large number of our developers to brainstorm and create the various proposals and required research and content development.
We would like to thank our great team of developers for their hard work and contributions to our initiative (in a random order): Szonia Odrovics, Tamas Domonkos, Csongor Eross, Iman Kaur, Matyas Juhasz, Tibor Lovas, Oleksandr Kovliuk, Akiko Maeda, Evgeniy Mariyko, Horia Hodis, Christian Pop, Emily Garber, Maksym Bevza, Martin Malasky, Serhii Brodiuk, Imre Katai, Maximilian Pangerl & Anton Gronadskiy.
In addition, I would also like to thank our internal staff who supported the work of making these proposals a reality: Angela Chobanov, Adrianna Kone, and Marjorie Buckingham.
It was a great experience for us, and we learned many valuable things; and we are optimistic and hopeful that one or more of the four proposals will be accepted in the next few months.
Below are the public Briefing Charts of our four 2021 submissions:
