This contract was awarded by NASA to Innosense Corporation, a small business contractor, to develop an ionic liquid-based heat transfer fluid for use in CubeSats. The goal is to regulate the temperature variations within the small spacecraft, which can range from -40°C to +80°C, in order to protect the onboard components. During Phase I, Innosense will synthesize and test a functionalized ionic liquid with properties tailored for CubeSat applications, including high thermal conductivity, high heat storage density, and a melting point within the desired operating range. In subsequent phases, the technology will be further refined, optimized, and scaled for integration into working CubeSats. This $125,000 firm-fixed-price contract is part of NASA's Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program.
