Update #2 · Latest ·

Added: Oct 24, 2016 2:15 pm This Contract is for the design, fabrication, and installation of Large Scale Multi-Layer Insulation (MLI) Blankets for Exploration Missions. This endeavor is part of an effort to improve the fundamental understanding of multilayer insulation (MLI) systems. After the MLI is applied to a SHIIVER Tank, the tank will be tested in a thermal vacuum chamber and in a reverberant acoustic environment. Following the reverberant acoustic testing, thermal vacuum testing will be repeated to determine whether damage to the MLI was caused by acoustic excitation.

Team members include Lockheed Martin Advanced Technology Center (LMATC) for analysis and guidance in design, and Sheldahl, Inc. for materials.


Option 1 is being performed in conjunction with the Base Period, thus, giving the Contract a fifteen (15) month period of performance.

Added: May 19, 2016 1:45 pm This endeavor is part of an effort to improve the fundamental understanding of multilayer insulation (MLI) systems. This solicitation is for the design, fabrication, and installation of a MLI blanket system onto a representative sub-scale tank, herein referred to as the Structural Heat Intercept, Insulation, and Vibration Experiment Rig (SHIIVER) tank. Domes and sidewalls of the hydrogen tank will be covered with Spray-On Foam Insulation (SOFI) of approximately one-inch thickness. The tank will be tested in a thermal vacuum chamber and in a reverberant acoustic environment.
