This contract was awarded by NASA to Valley Tech Systems, Inc. (VTS), a small business manufacturer, for the development of an innovative solid reaction control system (RCS) architecture concept design that can manage pitch, yaw, and roll for a Mars Ascent Vehicle (MAV) as it ascends, completes stage separation, and performs final maneuvers for linking with a carrier satellite. The $124,468 firm-fixed-price Phase I SBIR contract leverages VTS's advanced, long-duration, extinguishable and re-ignitable solid propulsion system, coupled with critical hot gas valve and proportional thruster technologies, to provide an optimal solid rocket motor-based control system. This design is intended to improve reliability and vehicle controllability compared to liquid solutions, while accommodating the cold space environment. The Phase I effort will conduct trade studies, design concept layouts, and critical technology testing to support a potential Phase II prototype demonstration program.
