Geoplasma LLC

Geoplasma LLC is a partnership or limited liability company registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) as a for-profit organization. It specializes in the development and testing of advanced thermal protection system (TPS) materials for aerospace applications.

Geoplasma LLC has been awarded two prime federal contracts by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center (NASA). The first was a $44,934 cooperative agreement in 2020 to address a technology need related to NASA's vision for long-duration human space travel and sustained presence on other planetary surfaces. The second was a $749,948 firm fixed price definitive contract in 2019 under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program Phase II. This contract aimed to optimize and test TPS materials identified in Phase I as promising for applications such as rocket engine components, re-entry vehicles, and hypersonic vehicles. Geoplasma will perform ground-based testing and provide samples for testing on the Materials International Space Station Experiment (MISSE) payloads to evaluate the effects of space exposure on a range of advanced TPS materials deposited on various metallic substrates using plasma spray additive manufacturing techniques.

Geoplasma LLC has also been awarded a $44,934 cooperative agreement grant by NASA in 2020. The grant aimed to address a technology need related to NASA's vision for long-duration human space travel beyond low Earth orbit and sustained human presence on other planetary surfaces. The grant funded Geoplasma to conduct research and development activities related to advanced thermal protection system materials for aerospace applications.
