About this award

This is a $102,766.00 Firm Fixed Price contract awarded to J2F Engineering, a for-profit small business organization, by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The contract was awarded under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program Phase I and is focused on investigating commercially available solid phase substrates for sample processing methods, including solid phase extraction, desalting, and ion exchange. These methods are intended to be integrated into existing NASA programs for the exploration of ocean worlds. The goal is to determine which substrates and surface coatings can withstand the stresses expected during space deployment and support future sample analysis missions.

Description

This proposal addresses the issue of sample preparation technologies which can be utilized in ocean world missions to enhance the sensitivity and selectivity in the analyses of collected samples. On earth, solid phase matrices are utilized extensively for capture, separation, and selective retention of components in the sample analysis process. Utilization of solid phases for similar processes is not yet possible on other world based missions due to a lack of investigations into the compatibility of these materials with space flight and deployment under other world conditions. This phase I effort seeks to investigate commercially available solid phase substrates for three sample processing methods that would be directly integrated into existing NASA programs; these methods are solid phase extraction (SPE), desalting, and ION exchange. This effort will evaluate the performance of different substrates and surface coatings through stresses expected to be experienced on space deployment. The goal is to determine which substrates/surfaces might be able to play a role in future sample analysis missions that are planned for exploration of ocean worlds.
