This federal contract award to CU Aerospace L.L.C., a small business located in Champaign, Illinois, is for the development of a Monofilament Vaporization Propulsion (MVP) system. The MVP is a new, safe, and clean propulsion technology targeted at secondary payload applications, such as small CubeSats, that does not compromise on performance while using solid propellant without storage or handling concerns. The $124,996.00 Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract was awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian federal agency, to advance the MVP technology, which leverages 3D printing techniques to feed propellant into an electrothermal propulsion system. The MVP system is designed to provide 900 N-s of total impulse, enabling up to 250 m/s of delta-V for a standard 4 kg, 3U CubeSat, while consuming less than 15 W of power and targeting a cost of $30,000 to encourage use on low-budget missions.
