About this award

This is a $999,650.00 firm fixed-price Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Sheridan Solutions LLC, a veteran-owned limited liability company. The contract is for a novel 3D printing process to produce high-performance heat exchangers embedded in CubeSat structures with integrated temperature monitoring sensors. This enabling technology is intended to address thermal management and radiation shielding challenges for small satellites in low-Earth orbit and deep space applications. The results of this work are expected to support implementation in various NASA space programs, including a planned mission to Europa.

Description

This phase II development program will utilize a novel new 3D printing process to produce high performance heat exchangers embedded in cubesat structures with integrated temperature monitoring sensors. The embedded heat exchanger is part of a multifunctional three dimensional cubesat structure that will simultaneously accommodate thermal and mechanical loads, and offer radiation protection via multi-material laminates. In particular, ultrasonic additive manufacturing will be used to embed complex cooling channels in a three dimensional part. Success in this program enables low cost production of cubesat structures with both thermal management and structural integrity excellence. These structures can be applied in low earth orbit devices, where thermal management of small satellites is a principal concern, and also in deep space applications, where radiation shielding is a major problem. The results of this enabling work will provide the engineering design and programmatic information necessary for implementation into a number of NASA space programs, including the planned mission to europa
