This is a Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Ultramet, a for-profit manufacturer of advanced materials. The contract, valued at $125,000.00, is focused on the design and fabrication of a lightweight, high-temperature ceramic matrix composite (CMC) combustion chamber for use with non-toxic, high-performance AF-M315 monopropellants. This aligns with NASA's interest in developing non-toxic, storable liquid propulsion systems for future exploration missions, as the current use of hydrazine poses handling and safety concerns. Ultramet will work closely with a leading supplier of spacecraft propulsion systems to optimize the CMC chamber design and fabrication process. The goal is to develop a CMC chamber that is ready for hot-fire testing at the conclusion of this Phase I effort, with long-duration life testing planned for a potential Phase II.
