About this award
This is a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Advanced Seismic Instrumentation and Research LLC, a small disadvantaged business. The $124,500.00 firm-fixed-price contract is for the development and testing of a miniaturized borehole seismometer to be deployed with a heat probe on the lunar surface. The seismometer will be designed to work with an existing gas jet drilling method to reach depths of up to 3 meters. This effort will advance the technology readiness level of the seismometer concept from 2 to 4. The contract has a total small business set-aside designation and is expected to be completed by December 9, 2016.
Description
We propose to adapt a miniaturized borehole seismometer for deployment with a heat probe below the lunar surface. The heat flow probe has already been designed and tested to reach a depth of 3M and will be installed underground by an existing gas jet drilling method. By burying an innovative, broadband, optical seismometer along with the heat flow probe, we can accomplish all of the goals of a high-mass, high-power surface seismic station with minimal mass and power. While this method currently allows installation at depths of 3M - we make maximum use of this environment - our sensor anticipates possible deployments at much greater depths. In the proposed work we will build and test a full working prototype of this seismometer. We will test IT under lunar environmental conditions (vacuum, temperature and simulated regolith), bringing this instrument concept (TRL2) to a tested prototype (TRL4).
