This is a $123,634 firm-fixed-price SBIR Phase I contract awarded by NASA to Semplastics EHC LLC, a small business, to develop an ultra-low cost, lightweight, molded, chalcogenide glass-silicon oxycarbide composite mirror component. The goal is to achieve an order of magnitude improvement in areal cost (cost per square meter of collecting aperture) over current technologies for future NASA space mirror requirements. Semplastics will leverage its in-house technologies to produce a molded bulk ceramic substrate using a low-energy process, which is lighter than traditional materials like silicon carbide or Zerodur. Chalcogenide glass will be used to fill the porous substrate and provide a smooth, thermally-matched surface for aluminization. Successful completion of this effort would meet both the cost and optical performance targets for next-generation UV/optical and infrared mirror components.
