AND RADIAN AEROSPACE INC. UNDER SPACE ACT UMBRELLA AGREEMENTAnnex • January 12th, 2024
Contract Type FiledJanuary 12th, 2024The purpose of this Annex (“Annex” or “Annex 02”) is to provide Radian Aerospace Inc. (“Radian”) with the capabilities and characteristics of the various NASA Glenn Research Center (“GRC”)-derived inorganic aerogel composites available, combined with optimal formulations derived from Annex 01 under Space Act Umbrella Agreement No. SAA3- 1726 (“Annex 01”) to create a hybrid aerogel composite (HAC). NASA GRC will assist in material evaluation regarding the placement of the multilayer insulation (MLI) containing the HAC system within a Radian-developed vehicle structure for optimal thermal insulation. NASA GRC will perform a baseline characterization and feasibility study to determine optimal formulations, best practices for composite interface adhesion, and vehicle placement.
