This federal contract award, valued at $563,851.19, was granted to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), a private research university located in Troy, New York. The contract, which does not have a set-aside designation, is for the characterization and application of cryogenic power semiconductors in lightweight, fault-tolerant systems for lunar missions. The contract is a grant for research and is funded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency within the federal government. RPI has a...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $1,043,139 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program Phase II contract to CFD Research Corporation to develop radiation-hardened silicon carbide (SiC) power electronics for future NASA science and exploration missions. The contract aims to address the high vulnerability of SiC devices to heavy-ion induced degradation and failure, which has precluded their use in space power management and distribution (PMAD)...
This is a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract awarded by NASA to CFD Research Corporation, a small business in Huntsville, Alabama. The contract, valued at $124,989, will support research and development to address the vulnerability of silicon carbide (SiC) power electronics to radiation damage, which has prevented their use in NASA's future science and exploration missions. The research aims to develop a better understanding of the physical mechanisms behind the...
This is a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract awarded by NASA to Coolcad Electronics, Inc., a small for-profit semiconductor company specializing in advanced technologies like silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN). The $125,000 firm-fixed-price contract aims to develop radiation-tolerant high-voltage and low on-resistance SiC power devices to meet NASA's capability and performance goals for upcoming missions such as the Io Observer, Saturn Probe, and Europa...
This is a $849,941 Firm Fixed Price Definitive Contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Scdevice LLC, a for-profit small business organization, under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II program. The contract is for the research and development of radiation-resistant silicon carbide (SiC) metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) capable of operating at voltages up to 600V. This technology is intended for use in space...
This federal contract award, valued at $195,920.61, was granted to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), a private research university located in Troy, New York. The contract, awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian federal agency, is a grant for research focused on investigating the causes of failures in loop heat pipes commonly used in satellites and space systems. The contract does not utilize a set-aside designation, indicating that RPI was selected competitively based on its...
This federal contract award, valued at $499,987.28, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Vanderbilt University for research on the heavy ion radiation effects in silicon carbide (SiC) power devices. The main objectives are to identify the physical mechanisms underlying the unexpected behavior of SiC devices under heavy ion radiation, develop new physics models for computer-aided design (CAD) simulation tools, and investigate mitigation strategies. The work...
