- Description
- NASA/Glenn Research Center (GRC) plans to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP)] for the design and build of a prototype space radiator demonstration unit. The size and basic performance requirements of the prototype are representative of a portion of a radiator for use on NASA?s Orion Crew Vehicle. The radiator will be part of a research test bed supporting basic thermal system characterization tests at NASA?s Johnson Space Center. The radiator will approximate a quarter-cylinder whose approximate dimensions are 65 inches high x 104 inches in circumference, with a radius of 101 inches. The nominal operating temperature will be +110 degrees F with temperature excursions to cold (-240 F cold soak) and hot (+250 F single event) planned. The radiator will be constructed of carbon fiber Polymer Matrix Composite (PMC) with bonded aluminum fluid tubes attached to inlet and outlet manifolds. Delivery shall be by July 31, 2007 to NASA Johnson Space Center, Houston, Texas. The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. See Note 26.
