This is a $123,164 firm fixed-price STTR Phase I contract awarded by the Shared Services Center of NASA to Mango Materials Inc., a small business organization. The contract is for the design and development of a novel membrane-based bioreactor system that can produce a biopolymer from methane gas. This system is intended to enable closed-loop life support systems on Earth and in space environments, including microgravity. The proposed innovation expands on Mango Materials' existing work to scale...
This is a $828,256.73 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Clemson University's Division of Research to develop synthetic biology technologies that can convert human waste and other in-situ resources into food, nutraceuticals, medicine, and materials for long-term space travel missions. The project focuses on engineering yeast to convert carbon dioxide, algae biomass, and human urine into nutritional omega-3 fats and 3D printable plastics. This work aims...
This is a $798,222 research grant awarded by NASA to Materials Development Inc., a for-profit subchapter S corporation. The grant supports an international collaboration with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) to conduct microgravity-based experiments using JAXA's Electrostatic Levitation Furnace (ELF) to measure the thermophysical properties of supercooled molten metal oxides. These materials are precursors to high-value glass used in photonics, lasers, optical communications, and...
This is a grant awarded by the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for research on in-space manufacturing capabilities. The $97,933.50 grant aims to determine the parameters for profitable space-based manufacturing operations within the new space economy, with a focus on additive manufacturing technologies. The research will develop validated system models accounting for technology development, customer demand, supplier...
This award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) provides a $1,527,183 grant to the Regents of the University of Minnesota, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Projects Administration, to conduct research on methane emissions in the U.S. Corn Belt and Upper Midwest region. The research program will combine in-situ and remote sensing measurements, agricultural science, hydrology, and micrometeorology with modeling to quantify the net methane flux in the region,...
This is a $459,811.61 research grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to Blue Marble Space Institute of Science, a non-profit organization, for "Experimental and Numerical Investigations of Methane Production Rates by Autotrophic Methanogens in Serpentinizing" research. The grant is for a period of three years, from October 1, 2022, to September 30, 2025. The work will support NASA's Planetary Science, Astrobiology, and Habitable Worlds programs by investigating methane...
Mosaic Materials Inc., a small business, was awarded a $754,756 Firm Fixed Price definitive contract from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) under the Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) program. The contract, which has a period of performance through January 2022, is for the research and development of adsorbent materials that efficiently remove carbon dioxide and water from atmospheres to support NASA's long-term goals for human exploration and habitation of Mars....
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has awarded a $497,007.70 grant for research to Exoterra Resource LLC, a solar electric propulsion company based in Littleton, Colorado. The NIMPH project aims to develop a micro in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) system to produce liquid oxygen (LOX) and liquid hydrogen (LH2) propellant for sample return missions, which are significantly more expensive than traditional exploration missions due to the increased delta-V requirements. By...
Mosaic Materials Inc., a small business, was awarded a $122,083 firm-fixed price purchase order contract from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to develop a metal-organic framework (MOF) adsorbent material for efficient removal of carbon dioxide from confined atmospheres, such as in spacecraft. This Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract supports NASA's research into new technologies for controlling carbon dioxide levels during...
This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Florida (UF) to conduct research on methanogens, a type of microorganism, under simulated Martian conditions. The $542,194.21 grant, awarded on June 15, 2017, is focused on establishing the limits for metabolism, growth, and methane production of psychrophilic (cold-loving) methanogens under low pressure, low temperature, low oxygen, and high perchlorate/chlorate salt conditions that may...
