- This is a $750,000 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Plasma Controls, LLC, a small business based in Fort Collins, Colorado. The contract is for the development of an iodine-compatible hollow cathode for use in Hall-effect thrusters, which are a type of electric propulsion system. Current state-of-the-art electron emitters and mounting hardware materials are not compatible with...
- This is a $125,000.00 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program Phase I contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Plasma Controls, LLC, a small business located in Fort Collins, Colorado. The contract is for the development of hollow cathode electron sources based on a novel inorganic electron emitting material. The goal is to create a cathode design that can provide equivalent electron emission to existing materials at lower...
- NASA has awarded a $124,875 firm fixed-price Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract to E Beam Inc., a veteran-owned small business located in Beaverton, Oregon. The contract is to develop a hollow reservoir cathode suitable for use in ion or Hall effect thrusters that utilize iodine as a propellant. Reservoir cathodes have unique features, such as isolating the barium-emission material from the corrosive iodine flow, which allows for higher barium production rates to overcome...
- This is a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to E Beam Inc., a veteran-owned small business. The contract is for the development of a hollow reservoir cathode that uses iodine as a propellant for use in ion and Hall thrusters. The cathode design features that address iodine poisoning, including a critical barium reduction process isolated in the reservoir and an increased barium supply. The contract...
- Busek Co., Inc. was awarded a $125,000 firm fixed-price contract to design, build, and test a compact, long-lifetime hollow cathode that can be mounted along the axis of a 600-watt class Hall effect thruster. The cathode will be compatible with both xenon and iodine propellants, and is intended to extend the lifetime and performance benefits of axially-mounted cathodes to lower-power Hall thrusters. This Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) award from the National Aeronautics and...
