This is a Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Creare LLC, a research and development company. The contract, valued at $749,988, is for the development of an innovative cryocooler technology to support superconducting systems for turboelectric aircraft. Creare previously developed a cryocooler concept that meets NASA's requirements for cooling to 50 Kelvin, and this Phase II contract will extend the...
This is a $749,901 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Creare LLC, a research and development company located in Hanover, New Hampshire. The contract is focused on developing a high-capacity turbo-Brayton cryocooler that can provide 150 watts of refrigeration at 90 Kelvin to support NASA's future missions involving long-term cryogenic storage in space. The proposed cryocooler exceeds the original...
This is a Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract awarded by NASA to Creare LLC, a small business engineering R&D company based in Hanover, NH. The $124,997 firm-fixed-price contract is for the design and assessment of a high-capacity turbo-Brayton cryocooler that can provide 150 watts of refrigeration at 90 Kelvin. This technology is intended to address NASA's need for long-term cryogenic propellant storage in space, where typical cryocoolers are not suitable for the high...
This is a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract awarded by NASA to Creare LLC, a small business engineering and research company based in Hanover, New Hampshire. The contract, valued at $124,910, is for the development and demonstration of an innovative Stirling cryocooler that can efficiently produce refrigeration at 30 Kelvin while rejecting heat at 150 Kelvin. This technology is critical for future NASA planetary science missions with limited access to solar power, as...
This firm-fixed-price contract, awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Creare LLC, a small business, is for the development and demonstration of a two-stage cryocooler that provides refrigeration at 10 Kelvin, with additional cooling at 60 to 70 Kelvin. The cryocooler will be used for advanced space-borne instruments that require cooling at temperatures of 10 Kelvin and below. The contract, valued at $124,967.00, is a Phase I Small Business Innovation Research...

This is a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Creare LLC, a small engineering research and development company based in Hanover, New Hampshire. The contract, valued at $124,569, is for the development of a new cryocooler technology to enable superconducting systems for turboelectric aircraft.

The goal is to extend the temperature range of Creare's existing cryocooler design to provide cooling down to 15 Kelvin, which is required for magnesium diboride (MgB2) superconductors. These superconductors offer advantages in terms of price and performance for certain aircraft electrical systems. Under this Phase I effort, Creare will evaluate the performance of their innovative new cryocooler cycle concept through modeling and preliminary component designs. This work is intended to support the development of enabling technologies for turboelectric aircraft, which can provide significant reductions in emissions, fuel burn, and noise compared to conventional aircraft designs.
