This is a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II contract awarded by NASA to Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI), a for-profit research and development company, for the development of a passive thermal control skin (TCS) technology. The TCS will control the infrared emissivity as a function of thermal load while maintaining low solar absorptivity, enabling improved temperature regulation for future manned and unmanned spacecraft missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond. The $749,923 fixed-price contract has a period of performance from April 2018 to June 2021. PSI is the prime contractor and has experience supporting government agencies like NASA, DoD, and DoE through contracts and grants. This SBIR Phase II award builds upon PSI's prior work in advanced materials, optics, and aerospace engineering.
