The contract, valued at $156,492.00, is a firm-fixed-price purchase order with a completion date of February 6, 2025. This SBIR Phase I effort is part of NASA's research and...
- This federal contract award is from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Advanced Fuel Research, Inc. (doing business as Advanced Fuel Research), a small business, for the development of structured, carbon-based trace contaminant sorbents for use in the space suit during extravehicular activities (EVAs). The $124,355.00 Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract aims to demonstrate the feasibility of using 3D printing to fabricate...
- This is a $747,990 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Advanced Fuel Research, Inc. (AFR) to develop regenerable life support systems, including structured carbon-based trace contaminant sorbents fabricated using 3D printing. The objective is to create a trace contaminant removal system for the Exploration Portable Life Support System (PLSS) used in extravehicular activities (EVAs) that is rapidly...
- 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 for-profit subchapter S corporation based in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. Under this contract, TDA Research is developing a highly efficient carbon dioxide (CO2) removal system for closed-loop spacecraft cabin air revitalization during deep space missions. The technology is based on a proprietary strontium-exchanged...
- This is a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Giner Inc., a Massachusetts-based research and development firm, for $124,946.00. The objective is to demonstrate the feasibility of developing an improved electrochemical process for removing carbon dioxide (CO2) from cabin air, while also recycling water and producing oxygen (O2) on long-duration space missions. The proposed process aims to more...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has awarded a $718,595.00 Firm Fixed Price, Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II contract to Umpqua Research Company, a small business, to develop a Regenerable Carbon Filter (RCF) technology. The RCF is intended to remove carbonaceous particulate matter generated by environmental control and life support processes, such as carbon dioxide reduction systems, in NASA's exploration life support closed habitat mission concepts. The contract aims to produce a device that can effectively collect ultrafine carbon particles and be regenerated in-situ, eliminating the need for crew handling. This technology is critical for maximizing the operating capacity and lifetime of equipment used in manned space habitats that rely on these carbon-producing processes.
