This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) supports the development of a novel, non-invasive method to monitor the condition of thermal protection system (TPS) materials used on spacecraft during reentry. The contract, valued at $120,735.00, was awarded to Jentek Sensors, Inc., a small business manufacturer of specialized sensor technologies, under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program. The proposed solution incorporates innovative sensor arrays, physics-based models, and multivariate analysis to assess the structural integrity of carbon-based TPS materials, such as Phenolic Impregnated Carbon Ablator (PICA), in a non-destructive manner. This research aims to improve the performance and understanding of modern heat shield structures, which are critical for protecting spacecraft during the intense heating of reentry conditions.
