This is a $750,000.00 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to TDA Research, Inc., a for-profit subchapter S corporation based in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. The contract is focused on developing a novel scrubber system to remove radioactive halogens and noble gases from the exhaust of nuclear thermal propulsion (NTP) engines, which are being explored as a means of reducing the number of Space Launch System (SLS) launches required for potential human missions to Mars. In Phase I, TDA Research demonstrated the ability of their sorbent material to remove these radioactive contaminants from helium at high space velocities over multiple regeneration cycles. This Phase II contract will allow the company to further optimize the sorbent, scale up its production, and design and build a portable subscale unit to demonstrate its effectiveness under simulated NTP engine exhaust conditions. The goal is to then use the performance results to develop a detailed design for a full-scale scrubbing system to treat NTP engine exhaust.
