This is a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Mainstream Engineering Corporation, a small business manufacturer based in Rockledge, Florida. The contract, valued at $749,108, is for the development of next-generation thermal control fluids to improve the efficiency and performance of thermal management systems on NASA spacecraft and vehicles. The contract aims to build upon Mainstream Engineering's prior SBIR Phase I work, where the company demonstrated the superior thermal properties of its proposed fluids compared to currently used options. In this Phase II effort, Mainstream will conduct more long-term durability, compatibility, and performance testing of these fluids in a simulated test loop representative of conditions encountered on NASA missions. The improved thermal control fluids are expected to enable more compact and efficient thermal management systems, which are critical for spacecraft operating beyond low-Earth orbit where heat rejection demands are increasingly stringent.
