This federal contract was awarded by NASA to Applied Sciences Inc., a small business, for the development of a unique solution to reduce the impact of stray visible light on space-based telescopic imagery. The solution leverages nano-structured polymer coatings and carbon nanotubes to create a highly effective, low-cost, and scalable light trapping surface. This innovation aims to address a key limitation in current treatments for mitigating the deleterious effects of stray light on the quality of astrophysical observations. The $124,663 Phase I SBIR contract will enable rapid verification, qualification, and transition of this technology, building on Applied Sciences' prior work with the U.S. Air Force to scale up the manufacturing of these nanomaterial-enhanced coatings.
