BROOKLYN, NY--(Marketwired - Feb 1, 2010) - PowerSafe Technology Corporation (PINKSHEETS: PSFT) announced today that contracts for two SBIR projects submitted by its wholly owned subsidiary Amplification Technologies Inc. (ATI) (www.ampti.net) and selected by NASA in November 2009 have been signed. Phase I of each project has a value of approximately $100,000 and is to be completed by the end of July 2010. Upon completion of each Phase I project, ATI will be eligible to seek up to an additional $600,000 in Phase II funding.

"We are extremely gratified that NASA continues to support our breakthrough near infra-red technology," said Jack Mayer, President of PowerSafe. "We are proud of our highly talented team, and are now commencing work on these innovative projects, which will broaden our ongoing development of highly sensitive photodetectors for a broad range of commercial applications."

The first project is titled "Very High Gain and Low Noise Near Infrared Single Photon Counting Detectors and Arrays." The second project is titled "High Performance Negative Feedback Near Infrared Single Photon Counting Detectors & Arrays." Under these projects, new photon-counting photodetectors and photodetector arrays are to be developed to advance the state of the art in remote sensing, atmospheric sensing applications and long-range space optical communications.
