Electrical Systems Design for High-Temperature Test Chamber

The contract requires the design of specialized electrical systems capable of functioning reliably in extreme conditions, specifically within a high-temperature test chamber that simulates the surface environment of Venus at 462°C. This includes developing sensors, control systems, monitoring equipment, and power distribution infrastructure that can operate without failure under sustained extreme heat, requiring advanced materials and innovative thermal management solutions. The systems must be engineered for long-term stability, precise data collection, and fail-safe operation in an environment where conventional electronics would rapidly degrade. Subcontracted under the NASA Shared Services Center on behalf of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the opportunity is open for responses until August 12, 2026, with the request posted on August 7, 2026. The NAICS code 334318 indicates the work falls under the category of other communications equipment manufacturing, pointing to the specialized nature of the electronic components required. Performance is expected to support critical testing within the Venus Test Chamber, though specific location details for performance or contact information are not provided in the data. The subcontract nature implies the selected entity will work in support of a larger NASA-led mission or research initiative focused on planetary exploration under extreme conditions.
