The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Kennedy Space Center awarded a $429,500.00 firm fixed-price contract to Composite Technology Development, Inc. (CTD) to design, analyze, and fabricate unique 100% composite test tanks for the Tank Health Monitoring Project. The contract requires CTD to produce one 6-gallon prototype nonstructural thermal tank, twelve 6-gallon cylindrical composite tanks, and two 101-gallon tanks. These tanks will be filled with cryogenic liquid nitrogen and pressurized until burst, with NASA health monitoring systems active, to assess the performance of the 100% composite tank design. The contract also requires CTD to provide interim analysis reports, predictive models using finite element analysis, and analysis of defects in consultation with NASA. This contract supports the development of lightweight composite tank technology necessary for future spacecraft using liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen, which can achieve a 50% weight savings compared to currently used tanks.
