This is a Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Creare LLC, a research and development company. The contract, valued at $749,988, is for the development of an innovative cryocooler technology to support superconducting systems for turboelectric aircraft. Creare previously developed a cryocooler concept that meets NASA's requirements for cooling to 50 Kelvin, and this Phase II contract will extend the temperature range to 20 Kelvin to enable the use of magnesium diboride (MgB2) superconductors, which offer advantages in price and performance. The cryocooler development is intended to be an enabling technology for the superconducting systems needed to make turboelectric aircraft feasible, which could provide significant reductions in emissions, fuel burn, and noise. This contract is part of Creare's broader expertise in providing advanced aerospace technologies to government agencies through both contract awards and grant funding.
