This is a Firm Fixed Price Small Business SBIR Phase I contract awarded by NASA to Honeybee Robotics, Ltd. in the amount of $124,325.00. The goal of the contract is to perform breadboarding and testing of promising hermetic sealing techniques, as well as conduct a system-level study to determine implementation challenges for sample return missions. The tests will be conducted on both clean and "dirty" seals. The results of the Phase I contract will be one or more options for hermetic sealing of sample return canisters. In a follow-on Phase II, Honeybee Robotics will design and fabricate high-fidelity prototypes of the hermetic sealing canister and system, optimized for mass reduction and to protect volatile samples. The prototypes will be tested for hermeticity, thermal cycling, shock, and vibration. This effort is intended to advance the technology readiness level for the sample canister and sealing system to TRL 6.
