About this file
This is a Statement of Work for the procurement of Solarcore Polyimide Aerogel Embedded Fabric by NASA. The vendor, Solarcore, LLC (CEO: Michael Markesbery), is required to provide a flexible polyimide aerogel embedded fabric designed for advanced cryogenic storage systems for long-duration storage and transportation of liquid hydrogen, liquid oxygen, liquid methane, and other cryogenic propellants. The material will be used as part of multi-layer insulation for cryogenic tanks operating under representative aerospace conditions and for fabrication of prototype cryogenic insulation systems demonstrating advanced tank wrapping concepts.
The required deliverable must meet specific technical specifications including polyimide aerogel integrated into a continuous fiber fabric architecture, flexibility suitable for wrapping curved cylindrical and spherical tanks, low density (less than 0.20 g/cm³ preferred), high porosity (greater than 90%), low thermal conductivity suitable for cryogenic environments, and capability to operate across the full temperature range from cryogenic through elevated aerospace temperatures. Delivery must be completed within 45 days to Stephanie Vivod at NASA's facility located at 21000 Brookpark Road, Building 105, Room 208, Cleveland, Ohio 44135.

Procurement of Solarcore Polyimide Aerogel Embedded Fabric
NASA is developing advanced cryogenic storage systems to enable long-duration storage and transportation of liquid hydrogen (LH₂), liquid oxygen (LOX), liquid methane (LCH₄), and other cryogenic propellants for future aeronautics and space exploration missions. Current insulation technologies, including multilayer insulation (MLI) and conventional aerogel blankets, have limitations related to durability, mechanical robustness, integration with complex tank geometries, and performance under repeated thermal cycling. Polyimide aerogel embedded fabric provides a lightweight, flexible, mechanically robust insulation solution capable of maintaining exceptionally low thermal conductivity while conforming to curved composite cryogenic tank surfaces. The material procurement is intended for use as part of a multi-layer insulation for cryogenic tanks under representative aerospace operating conditions. The objective is to acquire a manufactured polyimide aerogel embedded fabric for fabrication of prototype cryogenic insulation systems and demonstration of advanced tank wrapping concepts. The vendor shall provide flexible polyimide aerogel embedded fabric meeting the following general requirements:
• Polyimide aerogel integrated into a continuous fiber fabric architecture
• Flexible blanket suitable for wrapping curved cylindrical and spherical tanks
• Low density (<0.20 g/cm³ preferred)
• High porosity (>90%)
• Low thermal conductivity suitable for cryogenic environments
• Capable of operation from cryogenic temperatures through elevated aerospace temperatures
Delivery timeline: 45 days
