About this award

Written by GovTribe AI ·

NASA's Glenn Research Center awarded Creare LLC a Phase III Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract valued at approximately $9.0 million for the development and delivery of a 20-watt, 20-kelvin cryocooler designed for thermal control of space-based liquid hydrogen systems. This definitive contract, awarded December 1, 2014, with an ultimate completion date of August 1, 2026, represents a continuation of technology development work previously conducted by Creare under Phase II SBIR funding. The contract utilizes a cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing structure with no small business set-aside designation. Work is being performed at Creare's facility in Hanover, New Hampshire, where the company specializes in advanced research and development across aerospace, defense, energy, and related sectors.

The cryocooler development effort supports NASA's broader thermal management capabilities for deep-space exploration and scientific missions requiring precise temperature control of cryogenic propellants and instruments. Under a related modification to this contract, NASA/Glenn contracted with Creare for comprehensive vibration and post-vibration verification testing services, including design and fabrication of test fixtures, structural analysis, and pre- and post-verification testing through June 2025. This testing protocol ensures the cryocooler meets rigorous NASA General Environmental Verification Standard (GEVS) requirements prior to operational deployment on space-based systems.
