🏆 Community Wins & News 🏆 

🌌 L5 Automation Wins NASA SBIR 🌌

Join us in congratulating FounderFamilia member Alexander Gutierrez and his team at L5 Automation for having been selected as one of 299 awardees for this year's NASA SBIR Phase I proposals!

Their innovative project, "Autonomous Perception and Manipulation of Cables and Fluid Lines for Remote Infrastructure Maintenance for Orbital and Lunar Missions," stands out for its dual-use potential. This technology will not only advance remote maintenance capabilities for space missions but will also be applied to improve agricultural processes, such as identifying and manipulating cables and fluid lines in strawberry farming.

We are incredibly proud of Alexander and the L5 Automation team for this outstanding achievement. We look forward to seeing the significant impact of their work in both space technology and agriculture.

Congratulations, Alexander and team! 🚀🍓
