Description
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is continually looking for ways to help advance the development of commercial space products and services. With the recent influx of U.S. private-sector companies interested in space exploration and utilization, NASA is seeking to better understand outside interest in a myriad of exploration activities. One such activity of interest is the development of low mass structures. As NASA evolves its plans to send humans deeper into space than ever before and continues to advance its capabilities to perform space-based science, there will be a continual need to reduce the mass and increase the performance of the structural systems used for space exploration activities. NASA’s Space Technology Mission Directorate (STMD) is considering development efforts to enable an increase in the use of fiber-reinforced polymeric composite materials through technology investments at multiple Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) levels. NASA’s STMD is seeking input through this Request for Information (RFI) on experiences within industry, academia, and other government agencies on the development of thin-ply composites technology that would support future commercial and NASA space missions while also supporting terrestrial applications.
