About this award

This is a cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order awarded by NASA's Glenn Research Center to Zin Technologies, Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business, for the design and fabrication of a Microgravity Wind Tunnel (MWT) for the International Space Station's (ISS) Microgravity Science Glovebox (MSG). The primary purpose of the MWT is to conduct fire research, as recent testing has shown that the current normal gravity upward burning test may not be conservative for some materials that burn better in microgravity under spacecraft ventilation flow conditions. The delivery order has a 3-year period of performance and a ceiling value of $328,388.00. This award is not associated with a set-aside program.

Description

This delivery order is for developing the microgravity wind tunnel (MWT) for the ISS microgravity science glovebox (MSG). The primary purpose of the proposed wind tunnel would be fire research. For fire research, NASA currently tests materials for flammability using NASA STD-6001 test 1, which is a normal gravity upward burning test. Unfortunately, recent testing has shown that this test may not be conservative for some materials that burn better in microgravity under spacecraft ventilation flow conditions. This MWT order is intended for design and fabrication of a flight unit within 3 years.
