Integration of Dust Resisting Secondary Emission Engineered Passive Thermal Control Material Systems (TCMS) Coating on - Flight & Test Hardware and Its Performance Validation Testing Per NASA-STD-1008

In order to support NASAs ability to land humans and support a sustainable presence on the Moon, AMSENG has prepared a Invited Sequential Phase II Proposal for the white paper (2023-1-94-W) with aim to facilitate rapid technology maturation development and assist in its insertion and to infuse key technologies to advance the objectives of the Moon to Mars campaign. AMSENG present a team with the capable candidates for further investment through a sequential Phase II Proposal invited for the white paper (2023-1-94-W) specifically for Technical Need Area 2023-1: Lunar Dust Mitigation Solutions. We plan to demonstrate Insertion of the developed Passive dust shedding TCMS coating Technology on to the Chosen Hardware: Engineering Design Unit (EDU), or Test Articles or Flight Hardware and Prepare the Material Processing Protocols and SOPs for the Enhanced TRL for the further use. The Materials and Process Engineering Protocols and SOPs for the passive dense dust shedding Thermal Control coatings as applied to various aero-space surfaces and its validation for functioning over the full range of combined extreme lunar surface environmental conditions of UV-eʹ radiation, and Moons Charged Dusty environment on hardware witness coupons is anticipated. Our suggestions are based on the successes for the secondary emission engineering of Passive Dense Dust shedding TCMS per program: 80NSSC21C0514.

NASA APPLICATIONS NASA Science Mission Directorate (SMD) missions can greatly benefit from this dust mitigation passive thermal coating technology: All Lunar-relating projects - Power and Thermal Bus Sub Systems, and all projects involved with robotic science rovers and landers. NON-NASA APPLICATIONS The Technology Developed and Demonstrated through Sequential Program can be useful for: (1) Survivable Thermal Control Material Systems and Coatings that are hardened for the upper atmospheric man made or natural Nuclear Event. (2) Solar Storms and GEO, MEO & LEO survivable Products and Technology that can employ electron on demand strategies in products like: Hardened Coating, Wiring harnesses

This is early/mid-stage (TRL 4) — the most realistic path in is NASA SBIR/STTR, which funds small businesses and research institutions to develop technology aligned with NASA's needs (equity-free, phased funding). Check whether a current SBIR/STTR solicitation topic overlaps with this project's technology area, or contact the project directly (above) to ask.

None of these are guaranteed paths for this specific project — TechPort itself doesn't have an "apply" button. Reaching out to the contact(s) above with a specific question is usually the fastest way to find out what's actually open.
