This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Geoplasma LLC, a for-profit limited liability company. The contract, valued at $110,486.00, aims to further improve and test multifunctional radiation shielding materials for use in crew vehicles and habitats beyond low Earth orbit. The materials under development combine efficient shielding against galactic cosmic radiation and secondary neutrons with increased structural strength. During this effort, the materials will be evaluated for durability against the space environment, including atomic oxygen, UV radiation, and temperature extremes, using the MISSE-FF facility. Enhancements to the shielding and structural properties of the composite will also be explored through the incorporation of boron nitride and enriched boron carbide.
