This is a firm fixed-price purchase order awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Madison Cryogroup LLC, a small business, under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program Phase I. The contract is valued at $124,836.00 and has a completion date of December 9, 2016. The purpose of the contract is to develop a two-stage pulse tube cryocooler that can provide cooling in the range of 10 to 20 Kelvin. This is intended to address the limitations of currently available closed-cycle cryocoolers for space applications, which often suffer from low reliability, high vibration, and inefficiency. The proposed cryocooler design incorporates four innovative concepts to improve efficiency and reduce mass compared to existing technologies.
