Recovery Act Near Term Energy-Efficient Technology Demonstrations and Research
This contract action was accomplished using competitive procedures.
This contract action was not awarded as a fixed price contract type because uncertainties involved in contract performance did not permit costs to be estimated with sufficient accuracy to use any type of fixed price contract. As such, a cost-reimbursement type action was awarded. (FAR 16.301-2)
DESCRIPTION: This award will develop technology to protect flexible solar cell modules from the space environment, thus allowing new solar arrays to take advantage of the flexible nature of novel new solar cells. Current solar arrays use rigid coverglass, limiting the size of the solar panels that can be stowed in a launch fairing. Flexible modules enable the possibility of significantly increasing stowage efficiency within a launch fairing. The technology also has potential as a flexible dielectric substrate for solar modules.
