The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a firm-fixed-price Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program Phase I contract to Mide Technology Corporation, a foreign-owned for-profit manufacturer, for the development of a sensor system to quantify the inertial and vibrational loading experienced by crewmembers during dynamic spaceflight events. The $125,000 contract aims to leverage the commercially available SLAM Stick data logger as the foundation for this effort, requiring improvements to the power system, gyro performance, and packaging. The final system will enhance Mide Technology's existing data logger product line, providing increased capabilities to support NASA's research into reducing crew injury and improving safety and design efficiency.
