About this award
This is a firm fixed-price SBIR Phase I contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Tentguild Engineering Co, a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation. The $124,975.00 contract is for the development of a new photovoltaic (PV) array architecture that can autonomously and repeatedly self-deploy into a disk-like configuration from a vertical Mars lander or other equipment, independent of terrain. This innovative design offers advantages over other PV array concepts that may have challenges with integration, deployment, cleaning, and environmental effects. The contract has a total small business set-aside designation and is scheduled for completion on February 15, 2019.
Description
Proposed is a new PV array architecture (featuring up to or beyond 1000-1500~M2 surface area) which can autonomously and repeatedly self-deploy into a disk-like configuration from a vertical mars lander or other equipment, fully independent of terrain, while naturally achieving highly prioritized operational mars mission objectives. The innovation offers an attractive alternative to other designs for which integration with launch vehicle and lander/habitat structures is less than seamless, cleaning, deployment, and environmental effects can be an operational bottleneck, and structural support may depend on the terrain.
