This is a Firm Fixed Price contract awarded by NASA to Acent Laboratories LLC, a small business, for the development of a Hydrogen Wave Heater (HWH) to support ground testing of Nuclear Thermal Propulsion (NTP) components and subsystems. The contract, valued at $1,249,491.00, is part of the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program Phase II. The HWH is an innovative device that can generate high-flow rate, high-temperature hydrogen, which is required for efficient testing of NTP technology, a key enabler for future human space travel to Mars. This contract supports NASA's efforts to advance NTP as the preferred concept for human space exploration.
