About this award
This is a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arctic Slope Technical Services, Inc., an Alaskan Native Corporation-owned small disadvantaged business. The $125,000 firm-fixed-price contract aims to develop a low-cost, high-efficiency catalyst technology to address navigation and maneuver difficulties in NASA's return missions. The proposed solution involves designing and fabricating a monolithic catalyst bed using selective laser melting technology and optimizing its performance with green monopropellants. This innovative approach is intended to enhance thruster life, decrease catalyst bed failure risk, and lower the cost of green monopropellant subsystems for small spacecraft.
Description
This proposal aims to develop a low cost, high efficiency catalyst technology to address navigation and maneuver difficulties in NASA's return missions. Our approach takes advantage of two recent innovations in the space industry regarding green monopropellants and additive manufacturing (am). In the proposed project, we are to design and fabricate a monolithic catalyst bed using selective laser melting (SLM) technology and begin to optimize its catalytic performance with new green monopropellants like AF-M315E and LMP-103S. The overwhelming advances that these two areas have seen in the last few years are making IT possible to offer a novel solution to the problems that robotic exploration missions are currently facing. Our proposed solution will enhance thruster life, decrease the risk of catalyst bed failure, and lower the cost of green monopropellant subsystems used in small spacecraft.
