This is a $124,923 Phase I SBIR contract awarded by NASA to Quest Thermal Group, LLC, a small business based in Arvada, Colorado. The contract is for the development of a novel Variable Conductance Radiator (VCR) that can provide highly variable heat rejection capabilities for spacecraft. This aligns with NASA's need for advanced thermal control technologies to support future space missions beyond low-Earth orbit, where thermal environments and vehicle heat loads can vary significantly. The VCR prototype is expected to demonstrate turndown ratios up to 80:1, far exceeding the current state-of-the-art variable radiators. This contract is part of NASA's ongoing efforts to advance critical thermal management technologies for both human and robotic spacecraft.
