- NASA has awarded a $111,999.00 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract to Connecticut Analytical Corporation, a for-profit manufacturer, to develop technologies for sampling from asteroids and comets, and improved in-situ analysis capabilities. The contract focuses on leveraging past observations of electrospray ionization and a novel ice-gun to enable organic analysis that was previously unattainable on spacecraft. This contract supports NASA's need for improved dust...
- This contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Connecticut Analytical Corporation, a for-profit manufacturer, for the development of an Electrospray Ice Plume Generator to simulate the production of ice particles in the size range of 50 nanometers up to 2 microns. This research is in preparation for a planned mission to Europa, one of Jupiter's moons, to explore its subsurface ocean and search for signs of life. The $124,047...
- This is a $749,019 Firm Fixed Price contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Connecticut Analytical Corporation, a small business manufacturer. The contract is for the development of a novel "ice gun" using electrospray technology to produce hypervelocity ice particles in the range of 50 nanometers to 2 microns. This capability is needed to simulate the challenges that spacecraft will face when passing through clouds of ice particulates during...
- This is a Firm Fixed Price contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Connecticut Analytical Corporation, a small business manufacturer, under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program Phase II. The contract, valued at $733,262.00, is for the in-situ electrospray capture of organic-bearing particulates from comets and celestial bodies. Based on the awardee's past work with NASA and the Department of the Army, Connecticut...
- This federal contract award was made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Connecticut Analytical Corporation, a small business manufacturer, for research services under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program Phase I. The $124,731.00 firm-fixed-price contract supports research related to the search for extraterrestrial life, specifically focused on analyzing water fountain plumes emanating from icy moons such as Enceladus and Europa....
- NASA has awarded a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract to Radmet LLC, a limited liability company, to develop and characterize an in-vacuo electrospray generator of highly charged ice grains for simulating high velocity impacts. The goal is to produce water ice grains moving at speeds of 5 km/s or higher to test in-situ instruments intended for sampling material from planetary bodies. The $123,913 firm fixed price contract has a period of performance through February 25,...
- This is a firm fixed price purchase order awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Connecticut Analytical Corporation, a small business manufacturer, under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program Phase I for $123,949.00. The award is in response to NASA's solicitation for technologies to enhance the detection of extant (existing) life in alien oceans. The technologies are intended to enable unambiguous determination of the...
- This is a Firm Fixed Price contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Connecticut Analytical Corporation, a small business manufacturer, for an In-Situ Electrospray Capture of Organic Bearing Particulates from Alien Water Fountains research project. The $748,693.00 contract is part of NASA's Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program Phase II. The work will be performed in Bethany, Connecticut and is expected to be completed by December 15, 2021....
- NASA awarded a $124,921 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract to Impossible Sensing LLC, a HUBZone small business. The contract is for the development and testing of key subsystems for the LACROSS (Life Analysis, Capture, and Retention on an Orbiting Saturn Spacecraft) instrument, which is designed to collect and analyze samples from the plumes of Saturn's moon Enceladus in-situ. LACROSS will utilize an innovative architecture to capture ice particles directly onto a...
- This federal contract award from NASA to Honeybee Robotics, Ltd. is for the development and testing of the In-Situ Spectroscopic Europa Explorer (ISEE), a compact, arm-mounted Raman spectrometer prototype. The goal is to advance this technology to support the Europa Lander mission, currently targeted for launch in 2022, which aims to search Europa's icy surface for evidence of life. The $120,062 fixed-price, STTR Phase I contract will fund the development and integration of key ISEE subsystems...
NASA awarded a $124,562 SBIR Phase I contract to Connecticut Analytical Corporation, a small business manufacturer, to develop technologies for in-situ organic analysis of ice grains captured from the water plumes of moons such as Enceladus and Europa. The proposed approach leverages prior NASA-funded research on electrospray ionization and hypervelocity ice grain capture to enable real-time analysis of organic content, while preserving samples for potential future return missions. This award addresses a key challenge in particulate impact-capture missions - the potential loss of valuable samples during aerogel capture. The contract has a Firm Fixed Price structure and is set aside for small businesses.
