This federal contract award, granted by NASA through the Shared Services Center, is for the NIMPH (Nano Icy Moons Propellant Harvester) project. The $99,891 grant was awarded to Exoterra Resource LLC, a solar electric propulsion company in Littleton, Colorado. The NIMPH project aims to develop a cubesat-scale in-situ resource utilization system that can harvest water to enable low-cost sample return missions to icy moons like Europa. The project will demonstrate the ability to conduct a sample return mission from Europa at an order of magnitude cost reduction compared to traditional techniques. The award does not have a set-aside designation, and the work is expected to be completed by May 31, 2017.
