About this award
This is a $125,000 firm-fixed-price purchase order awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Arctic Slope Technical Services, Inc. (ASTS), an Alaskan Native Corporation-owned small disadvantaged business. The contract is for Phase I of the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program to develop an electrically-heated, stored gas thruster for small spacecraft and satellites. The thruster is designed to provide excellent specific impulse performance at much lower power than traditional thrusters, using an additive manufacturing approach to reduce production costs. The contract has a total small business set-aside designation and is expected to be completed by December 9, 2016.
Description
Arctic slope technical services, asts, is pleased to propose this innovative approach for reducing the cost and power requirements for an electrically-heated, stored gas thruster well-suited for use in small spacecraft and satellites (cubesats and nanosats especially). The thruster features exceptionally-high heat transfer from the heaters to the gas, which will provide excellent ISP performance at much lower power than traditional thrusters. We will also use an additive manufacturing approach, which will greatly reduce production costs.
