- The Regents of the University of Michigan was awarded a research grant valued at approximately $1.52 million on February 29, 2024, for the development of a hybrid AC/DC magnetometer with attitude determination and control system. The award, issued under contract number 23-HTIDS23-0001, is unclassified and not subject to any set-aside designations. Performance will be conducted at the university's Ann Arbor, Michigan campus, with a completion date of September 1, 2027. The funding originates from...
This federal contract award to the Regents of the University of Michigan, valued at $285,869.59, is for the development and testing of the X3 Magnetically Shielded (MS) Hall Thruster, a 100kW class nested-channel Hall thruster. The X3 MS is an evolution of the previously developed X3 Unshielded (US) thruster, which underwent extensive performance characterization. The goal of this project is to implement new life-prolonging technologies to enable a minimum lifetime of 10,000 hours, addressing the key issue of wall erosion that limits the use of Hall thrusters in deep space missions. This contract award does not have a set-aside designation and is being funded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency. The University of Michigan has a strong track record of conducting research and development for federal agencies like NASA on advanced electric propulsion technologies.
