About this award
NASA's Glenn Research Center awarded a $1.75M delivery order to Wichita State University (WSU) for the development of databases of refractory composite materials to support validation of flight structures for hypersonic flight applications. The contract, which began September 16, 2024, and extends through September 16, 2026, focuses on characterization and testing of silicon carbide-silicon carbide (SIC/SIC), carbon-carbon, and carbon-silicon carbide composite materials. Work will be performed at WSU's facilities in Wichita, Kansas, under a cost-no-fee pricing structure with no set-aside designation. This delivery order is issued under a larger $15M Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle with Glenn Research Center that enables WSU to provide sustained technical services through September 2024.
Wichita State University, operating through its Office of Research and Sponsored Programs and leveraging its National Institute for Aviation Research (NIAR), brings substantial expertise in aerospace materials science and high-temperature composite testing to this effort. The university's work encompasses mechanical testing of materials at temperatures up to 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit, composite instrumentation, precision machining, design allowables analysis, and advanced characterization techniques including x-ray computed tomography. WSU's selection reflects its established track record as a federal research partner with NASA and the Department of Defense on materials development and validation initiatives critical to hypersonic vehicle development programs.
Description
Development of databases of refractory composites for the validation of flight structures for hypersonic flight. SIC/SIC, carbon carbon and carbon silicon carbide are high temperature composite materials that require further characterization
