- This federal contract award to XL Scientific LLC, doing business as Verus Research, is part of NASA's SBIR (Small Business Innovation Research) Program Phase I. The contract, valued at $124,999.00, is for the development of a ray tracing tool that will automate the process of using NASA's CAD (Computer-Aided Design) models in the HZETRN radiation transport code. This will help NASA personnel produce radiation transport analysis results more efficiently, as the new tool will handle the geometric,...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has awarded a $124,850.00 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program Phase I contract to Tech-X Corporation for the development of RSIM, a standalone application to integrate radiation modeling tools with Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software. RSIM will allow users to easily set up materials, particle sources, and analysis for various radiation modeling codes like MCNP6 and PHITS, as well as visualize and validate the results. This...
- This federal contract award from NASA's Langley Research Center provides funding to Cornerstone Research Group, Inc. (CRG) to develop self-deploying, composite structures for lunar habitats. The $99,999 Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract will advance CRG's VERITEX material, a shape memory polymer composite that can self-deploy and return to a rigid structure. This technology aims to offer increased packing efficiency and durability compared to inflatable lunar habitats....
- This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II contract was awarded by the Langley Research Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI), a for-profit research and development company. The $599,988 firm-fixed-price contract aims to advance PSI's ceramic composite material system for radiation shielding of lunar habitats. The composite material has demonstrated superior performance to aluminum in protecting against galactic cosmic...
- This is a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract awarded by NASA to Victor Technologies LLC, a veteran-owned limited liability company based in Chicago, Illinois. The contract, valued at $124,889, is for the enhancement of Victor Technologies' VIC-3D® eddy-current modeling code to enable near real-time, large-scale nondestructive simulations and automated data reduction/analysis for the characterization of carbon nanotube-reinforced polymer (CNRP) composites using...
- This is a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Tech-X Corporation, a for-profit small business, for the development of a standalone cross-platform application called RSIM. The RSIM application will provide a graphical user interface (GUI) to allow users to perform common radiation transport simulations without the need to write code in C++ or FORTRAN. The application will integrate with computer-aided...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II contract to Cornerstone Research Group Inc. (CRG) in the amount of $754,816.00. The contract is for the continued development of "Reclaimable Thermally Reversible Polymers for AM Feedstock", which aims to enable the reclamation and repurposing of structural fiber-reinforced composites into new configurations during extraterrestrial missions, such as conversion to...
- This is a $99,999 Firm Fixed Price contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Tech-X Corporation, a small business, under the SBIR Program Phase III. The contract is for the development of a "RSIM: A SIMULATION TOOL INTEGRATING RADIATION CODES AND CAD" solution. The contract has a completion date of September 1, 2021. Tech-X Corporation, a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation, has received numerous federal contracts and grants from agencies such as...
- This is a Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract awarded by NASA to International Scientific Technologies, Inc., a for-profit small business, to develop advanced radiation-shielding technologies using in-situ resources such as regolith to protect humans from galactic cosmic radiation during extra-terrestrial missions. The $125,000 firm-fixed price contract will support the selection of hydrogenous polymer binders, fabrication of polymer-regolith shielding specimens, and...
- This is a $124,988 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract awarded by NASA to CFD Research Corporation, a small business specializing in computational fluid dynamics and materials modeling. The contract aims to develop a computational materials model to simulate the degradation of ceramic matrix composite materials under the high-temperature, high-velocity conditions of propulsion systems. This will provide NASA with a tool to assist in the selection and optimization of...
This is a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to XL Scientific LLC, doing business as Verus Research. The contract, valued at $749,933.00, focuses on the development of the CAD Radiation Integration Tool (CRIT) and CAD repair tools to enable NASA's use of Computer-Aided Design (CAD) models in radiation transport analysis for space vehicle designs. The CRIT tool maintains material density and type information, addressing issues that prevent the use of NASA's CAD models with their radiation transport code, HZETRN. In the Phase II effort, XL Scientific will expand CRIT's capabilities to support additional file formats and integrate with the industry-standard MCNP radiation transport code. The company will also automate the CAD repair tools developed in Phase I to reduce the time required to correct common CAD model errors. This innovation is anticipated to be of interest to both government and commercial entities.
