This is a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II contract awarded by NASA to Advanced Cooling Technologies, Inc. (ACT), a small business based in Neffsville, Pennsylvania. The contract, valued at $749,984, is for the development of titanium/water heat pipes suitable for use in spacecraft fission power applications, such as the Kilopower project. The objective is to create heat pipes that can effectively transport waste heat from the cold end of Stirling convertors or thermoelectrics in a vertical orientation, which is necessary for ground testing of the Kilopower system. This contract is part of NASA's efforts to develop a 1 kilowatt-electric fission power system with a 15-year design life that could be available as early as 2020. ACT will design, fabricate, and test the titanium/water heat pipes for the planned Kilopower system life test, with the goal of assisting in that future test under a potential Phase III contract.
