This is a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Honeybee Robotics, Ltd. to develop a dust-tolerant, high-pressure oxygen quick disconnect (QD) for astronaut extravehicular activity (EVA) suits. The $124,100 firm-fixed-price contract will fund the design and performance testing of a prototype QD system capable of transferring high-pressure oxygen between the spacecraft and spacesuit in extreme thermal and dust-laden environments. This system will build upon Honeybee Robotics' prior work on dust-tolerant electrical connectors for the Constellation program. The successful completion of this Phase I effort will inform a subsequent Phase II contract to further mature the QD hardware for NASA's future human exploration missions to the Moon, Mars, and other planetary bodies.
