NONREIMBURSABLE SPACE ACT UMBRELLA AGREEMENT SAA1-40017 FORNonreimbursable Space Act Umbrella Agreement • March 1st, 2024
This Annex shall be for the purpose of National Aeronautics and Space Administration Langley Research Center ("NASA" or "NASA LaRC") and Sierra Space Corporation ("Sierra Space") evaluating a combination of bulk absorbers and local-reacting tonal liners for reduction of fan noise on the Large Integrated Flexible Environment (LIFE) habitat. In addition to gaining Sierra Space’s real-world expertise in aeronautic acoustics, through this collaboration, NASA will gain access to uniquely sized and shaped fan and duct units, which will allow NASA to continue to explore acoustic liner concepts and demonstrate manufacturing readiness level for some novel concepts. NASA will gain the ability to generate a true “fan source” rather than mimicking that sound spectrum with acoustic drivers and study noise reduction concepts applicable to auxiliary power units for conventional aircraft. The size of the provided ducts will give NASA the opportunity to explore alternative applications in the future.
