This is a $125,000 SBIR Phase I contract awarded by NASA to Innosense Corporation, a small disadvantaged business, to develop new modified ionic liquid-based phase change materials for heat exchangers. The goal is to create non-toxic heat transfer fluids with specific thermal properties required for advanced thermal control systems on future deep space manned spacecraft. Innosense will collaborate with the University of Nevada to synthesize salt additives to optimize the phase change...
This contract was awarded by NASA to Innosense Corporation, a small business contractor, to develop an ionic liquid-based heat transfer fluid for use in CubeSats. The goal is to regulate the temperature variations within the small spacecraft, which can range from -40°C to +80°C, in order to protect the onboard components. During Phase I, Innosense will synthesize and test a functionalized ionic liquid with properties tailored for CubeSat applications, including high thermal conductivity, high...
This firm-fixed-price contract, awarded by NASA's Ames Research Center to Paragon Space Development Corporation, supports the continuation of concept development and testing for a water-based, advanced phase change material (PCM) heat sink. The heat sink is designed to be used in extra-vehicular activity (EVA) portable life support systems, with the goal of achieving technology readiness levels (TRL) 4-5. The water-based PCM is non-toxic and non-flammable, providing high heat capacity while...
