Hardware development for a superconducting motor

This contract involves research and development support for the manufacture and testing of a megawatt-scale superconducting motor and its associated hardware. Serving as an extension of an existing SBIR Phase 3, the project focuses on the detailed design and risk reduction of a 5 MW motor demonstrator. The effort is a collaborative partnership between NASA Glenn Research Center and the Firm to ensure the successful development of the propulsion hardware. Under the terms of the agreement, the Firm is responsible for the manufacture and assembly of the rotor following the completion of risk reduction testing on key components. NASA will handle the manufacture and assembly of the stator, as well as the final integration of the stator and rotor. This procurement is designated as an 8(a) Sole Source set-aside under NAICS code 541715.
