This SBIR Phase I contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Creare LLC, a small business, to develop ultra-radiation-hardened power conversion technology. The goal is to reduce the shielding requirements for power system converters and electronics, potentially enabling a significant reduction in overall system mass for NASA's Kilopower, nuclear electric power (NEP), and surface power missions. The $124,854.00 firm fixed price contract covers the initial research and development phase, with prototype hardware to be fabricated and tested in a follow-on Phase II effort. Creare has extensive experience providing specialized aerospace, space, and defense technology solutions to federal agencies through both prime and subcontract awards.
