The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has awarded a $124,999 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract to Reactive Innovations, LLC, a small business located in Westford, Massachusetts. The contract is focused on developing a miniaturized vapor hydrogen peroxide generator to enable in-situ sterilization of surfaces and sample return materials during long-duration space exploration missions. This addresses NASA's need for effective contamination control and planetary protection measures to support potential life detection efforts on celestial bodies like Europa, Enceladus, and Mars. The contract has a firm fixed price structure and a target completion date of December 9, 2016.
