- This is a $125,000 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Materials Modifications Inc., a minority-owned small business. The contract is focused on developing "smart fibrous filters" with the ability to efficiently remove both particulate matter and volatile organic compounds from spacecraft cabin air. The goal is to create a more advanced air filtration system that can self-regenerate,...
- This is a $124,995 SBIR Phase I contract awarded by NASA to TDA Research, Inc., a small business based in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. The contract supports the development of a new Trace Contaminant Control System (TCCS) for advanced space suit designs. The TCCS will use a regenerable ammonia sorbent and an ambient temperature catalyst to control the levels of ammonia and formaldehyde, which are critical to meeting the 24-hour Spacecraft Maximum Allowable Concentration (SMAC) limits. The work...
- This is a $750,000 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to TDA Research, Inc., a for-profit subchapter S corporation based in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. Under this contract, TDA Research is developing a highly efficient carbon dioxide (CO2) removal system for closed-loop spacecraft cabin air revitalization during deep space missions. The technology is based on a proprietary strontium-exchanged...
- This is a $124,850.00 SBIR Phase I contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Precision Combustion, Inc., a small business concern. The contract is for the development of a vacuum-regenerable trace contaminant control system for exploration portable life support systems. As a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I award, this contract supports early-stage research and development of an innovative technology to address a specific need for NASA's...
- This is a $904,875 firm fixed price SBIR Phase II contract awarded by NASA to Advanced Fuel Research, Inc. to develop a torrefaction processing system for sterilizing and stabilizing human solid waste. The project aims to demonstrate the technical feasibility of a mild pyrolysis process that can produce a dry, odor-free solid product from fecal matter and other human waste, while also recovering moisture and generating small amounts of other useful products. The contract is designated for...
This federal contract award is from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Advanced Fuel Research, Inc. (doing business as Advanced Fuel Research), a small business, for the development of structured, carbon-based trace contaminant sorbents for use in the space suit during extravehicular activities (EVAs). The $124,355.00 Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract aims to demonstrate the feasibility of using 3D printing to fabricate plastic monoliths that can be converted into effective trace contaminant sorbents upon carbonization and activation, while preserving their original shape and strength. Key objectives include demonstrating effective ammonia and formaldehyde removal, as well as sorbent regeneration, and delivering a prototype sorbent to NASA for further sub-scale testing. This contract is part of NASA's efforts to develop regenerable life support systems to enable the expansion of human exploration into deep space.
