About this award
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center awarded a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program Phase I contract to Sweetsense Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business, for the development of water recovery technologies that are more robust and operationally sustainable over time. The contract, awarded on July 27, 2018, has a potential value of $124,565.00 and a completion date of February 15, 2019. The objective is to address the limitations of current spacecraft and terrestrial water recovery technologies, which are prone to failures caused by biofouling and mineral scaling, by developing solutions that can minimize the impact of such issues, particularly for long-duration spaceflight applications, such as extended stays at a lunar outpost or during a Mars transit mission.
Description
The current generation of spacecraft and terrestrial water recovery technologies are often prone to failures caused by biofouling and mineral scaling, which can clog mechanical systems and degrade the performance of capillary-based technologies. These failures require expensive and time-consuming maintenance and resupply, and the technologies are therefore limited to environments where these resources are available. Long duration spaceflight applications, such as extended stays at a lunar outpost or during a mars transit mission, will increasingly benefit from water recovery hardware that is generally more robust and operationally sustainable over time, and that minimizes the impact of fouling and hardware failures.
