- Description
NASA/Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) is hereby soliciting information from potential sources for the Frozen Return of Samples to Earth (FROSTE) effort.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)/MSFC is seeking capability statements from all interested parties. The Government reserves the right to consider all categories of small business set-asides based on responses received.
NASA/MSFC has a requirement for maintaining near constant temperatures of samples in cryogenically cold environments where little or no power is available. The latent heat of solidification in insulating materials could be utilized to help maintain sample conditions assuming appropriate materials are identified and available. The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to seek information on companies that can identify and provide candidate materials for such applications. The temperature range of greatest interest is from approximately 70 to 120k. Additional details are noted below.
This RFI concerns identification of materials and corresponding fluids that could provide heat transfer and heat storage in cold environments using the latent heat of solidification. Such materials could be utilized for thermal control in lunar and Martian exploration systems. Of particular interest is the identification and development of phase change materials capable of providing thermal consistency and uniformity throughout controlled volumes in cryogenically environments where little to no power is available. Identification of the most appropriate materials for heat storage and transfer in such low temperature environments would enable NASA-s technological and hardware developments and inform future NASA procurements.
Information regarding the properties, availability, and manufacturability of appropriate materials is requested. Preferred materials would exhibit low toxicity, low flammability, low volatility/vapor pressure, and a broad liquid tempe... - Documents:
