About this award
NASA's Shared Services Center awarded a purchase order to Astral Materials, Inc., a woman-owned small business, for $178,003 on March 7, 2025 to conduct an investigation of microgravity influence on crystal formation and defect density for silicon crystal growth in enhanced semiconductor device manufacturing. Work is performed in Palo Alto, California. The investigation focuses on validating hardware and procedures for potential low-Earth orbit manufacturing through parabolic flight testing, with technical requirements including heating silicon samples to at least 1,420 degrees Celsius and producing spherical samples under microgravity conditions. Five milestone deliverables are required: a kickoff meeting, experiment design, safety data submission, post-flight debrief, and a final report with samples. The order is firm fixed price with an ultimate completion date of March 6, 2027. The procurement originated from a sole source special notice posted February 28, 2025.
