This is a $750,000 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to TDA Research, Inc., a small business subchapter S corporation based in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. The contract supports the development of a compact, lightweight, advanced sorbent-based carbon dioxide (CO2) compressor system to recover high-purity CO2 from the Martian atmosphere. This technology is intended to benefit future human exploration and sample return missions to Mars by providing a reliable, energy-efficient means of obtaining vital in-situ propellant resources. The Phase I effort demonstrated proof-of-concept at the bench scale, and this Phase II contract will further optimize the sorbent material and scale up production using advanced manufacturing techniques. A sub-scale prototype will be delivered to NASA for additional testing and evaluation, advancing the technology readiness level to 5. This SBIR contract is a total small business set-aside, leveraging the specialized expertise of TDA Research to address key challenges in accessing Martian resources to enable future space exploration.
