This federal contract award to Omni Measurement Systems, Inc., a small business manufacturer based in Colchester, Vermont, aims to develop an in-suit waste management system for use by crew members in pressurized space suits during long-duration missions. The $1,249,806.00 Firm Fixed Price contract, awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program Phase II, integrates Omni's patent-pending Prosthetic Renal Flow System (ProReN FLO) urine collection and containment technology with the company's fecal collection and containment options. This contract is intended to address the lack of acceptable urine or fecal containment waste management systems for long-duration missions involving crew members confined to pressurized space suits.
