- This is a Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Nanosonic Inc., a small business manufacturer based in Pembroke, Virginia. The $125,000 firm fixed-price contract is for the development and validation of flexible, high char yield hybrid adhesive nanocomposites for use in polymer-based ablative thermal protection systems for space applications. The goal is to create a room-temperature cured hybrid...
Nanosonic Inc., a small business manufacturer, was awarded a $122,699 firm-fixed-price purchase order under the NASA SBIR program to develop an innovative polymeric binding system that can utilize Martian regolith as a growth media for hydroponically grown plants in support of NASA's efficient plant growth goals for space. Nanosonic will partner with Virginia Tech and Groundworks to characterize the water flux, uptake, and purity of the "Rego-Rock" binding system, as well as demonstrate its ability to support the soil-less growth of non-toxic, nutrient-rich plants compared to unmodified regolith and commercial growth media. This Phase I research and development effort is intended to enable greater utilization of Martian resources and reduce the amount of growth media and fertilizer required for plant cultivation in space.
