This federal contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Glenn Research Center to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, through its Military Aircraft Systems division doing business as Aerospace Systems. The $3,904,383 Firm Fixed Price contract is to investigate dynamic power conversion technologies, such as Brayton, Stirling, and Rankine cycle machines, that could be used to improve the efficiency of Radioisotope Power Systems (RPS) that utilize General Purpose Heat Source (GPHS) modules. The goal is to fill knowledge gaps and support assessments of dynamic conversion technologies to enable the development of a more efficient dynamic RPS for future NASA missions. This contract is not associated with a set-aside program. Once dynamic conversion technology development risks are understood, NASA and the Department of Energy will determine the path forward for DOE to develop a dynamic RPS system for spaceflight applications.
