- Description
NASA/Ames Research Center (ARC) intends to increase the ceiling value of the Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) 80ARC023AA001 for the Material Property Testing of Thermal Protection Systems (TPS) for Science Mission Directorate (SMD) Missions.
The purpose of this BPA is to conduct high accuracy material property characterization of NASA-provided thermal protection system materials ranging from low density conformable or flexible materials to fully densified composites. The testing will support the Entry Systems and Technology (TS) Division at ARC including but not limited to the following projects: the Mars Sample Return Earth Entry System Aeroshell TPS (MSR EEV TPS) project, the Phenolic Impregnated Carbon Ablator -Domestic (PICA-D) project, the Conformal PICA (C-PICA) project, the Orion/Artemis project, and various Internal Research and Development (IRAD) projects within TS Division. This requirement includes material property characterization of NASA-provided thermal protection system materials. To ensure the continuity of test results, prior test results will be compared with results of current testing for the same or similar materials.
Testing include but are not limited to:1) Thermal conductivity over a range of temperatures and pressures by guarded hot plate, comparative longitudinal heat flow, radial inflow;2) Specific heat by adiabatic drop calorimetry or differential scanning calorimetry;3) Thermal expansion;4) Tensile strength, strain to failure and modulus;5) Compression strength, strain to failure and modulus;6) Shear strength;7) Gas permeability;8) Additional material characterization as needed for various project requirements.
