This federal contract award, valued at $124,967.00, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Makel Engineering, Inc., a small business, to develop a miniaturized multi-species chemical microsensor instrument. The instrument is intended to provide real-time, in-situ measurements of hydrogen or methane, oxygen, water vapor, and mixture thermal conductivity to monitor the effectiveness of purge operations in cryogenic propellant lines. This will help NASA, a major user of helium, a scarce and strategic resource, to minimize helium usage by optimizing purge cycles. The contract is a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I award, which indicates it is part of a larger multi-phase program to mature the sensor technology for NASA applications.
