The university is leveraging its expertise across disciplines such as science, engineering, and geology to support NASA's research objectives. This award does not have a set-aside designation, indicating the University of...
- This $124,844 federal contract was awarded by NASA to Ozark Integrated Circuits Inc., a small business, under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program. The contract is for the development of specialized microelectronics, sensing, instrumentation, and electronic control systems to support NASA's efforts to land instruments on the harsh environment of the surface of Venus, which has high pressure, high temperature, and corrosive conditions. Ozark Integrated Circuits has extensive...
- This contract was awarded by NASA's Science Mission Directorate Planetary Division to the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), a public research university, to develop a fiber-optic heat flux sensor (HFS) capable of operating in the extreme surface environment of Venus. The $99,652.59 cooperative agreement aims to create a sensor that can withstand temperatures up to 500°C and 90 Earth atmospheres of pressure for extended (months-long) surface missions. The innovative approach utilizes...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center has awarded a $100,000.00 Cooperative Agreement contract to the University of Delaware, a private, non-profit 1862 land grant college, for the development of high-temperature gallium nitride (GaN) transistors using titanium aluminum oxide (TiAlO) for Venus long-duration surface electronic systems. The contract has a performance period running through July 2, 2025 and does not have a set-aside designation. The...
This is a one-year, $100,000.00 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arkansas at Little Rock (UALR), a member of the University of Arkansas System. The purpose of the contract is to develop state-of-the-art electronic packaging and assembly technologies that can withstand the extreme environment of Venus, including high temperatures, high pressure, and corrosive conditions. The research will involve thin-film techniques to create multi-level interconnects, as well as leveraging screen printing to miniaturize interconnects. This effort aims to enable the realization of highly functional yet miniaturized packaging for embedded electronic systems and subsystems used in scientific exploration of Venus, Mercury, or gas giants. There is no set-aside designation for this contract.
