This is a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Makel Engineering, Inc. (MEI), a small business based in Chico, California. The contract is for the development of flight-capable chemical microsensor arrays to monitor high-temperature bleed air and turbine exhaust in jet engines. The goal is to provide a new class of on-board engine instrumentation for real-time monitoring of engine and bleed air system operation during flight. The contract has a firm-fixed price of $124,921.00 and is set to be completed by December 9, 2016. This contract builds on MEI's previous work demonstrating the use of their solid-state chemical microsensors for ground-based testing to quantify critical constituents in turbine engine exhaust, such as CO, CO2, NOx, O2, and unburned hydrocarbons. The development of flight-qualified engine sensors that can measure these key chemical species will enable advanced aeronautical vehicle health management capabilities.
